Step 1: Cake:

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 5 Tbsp SACO Cultured Buttermilk Blend
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
  • 3 eggs

Instructions:

Have ingredients at room temperature.  Preheat oven to 350°F.  Grease and flour one 13 x 9 inch baking pan, or two 8 or 9-inch round layer pans.  In large mixing bowl sift together dry ingredients.  Add remaining ingredients and blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly.  Beat 3 minutes on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Pour into prepared pan(s).  Bake oblong pan 45 minutes, layer pans 40 to 45 minutes, or until wooden pick tests done.  Cool.  Frost with Caramel Frosting.

Step 2: Caramel Frosting:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp milk
  • 1 Tbsp SACO Cultured Buttermilk Blend
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Milk, as needed

Instructions:

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, but do not let it brown.  Stir in brown sugar and salt.  Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil hard 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Add milk and SACO Buttermilk Blend; stir vigorously.  Return pan to heat and bring mixture to a full boil.  Remove from heat at once and set aside to cool to lukewarm (about 20 minutes).  Stir powdered sugar into the lukewarm mixture and beat until smooth.  If frosting hardens too much to spread, beat in a few drops of milk.  Makes enough to fill and frost two 9-inch layers, or one oblong cake.

This Recipe Yields: 32 servings.
