Decadent caramel pecan cake with dark brown sugar and caramel frosting.
Ingredients:
  • 2.25 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup evaporated milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and generously grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of butter or margarine, shortening, brown sugar, and 1 cup of white sugar. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well beaten before adding the next. Fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Sift 2 1/2 cups of flour and baking powder together. Alternate adding this mixture with milk to the creamed mixture. Toss chopped pecans with 1/2 cup of flour, then gently fold into the batter. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the frosting by combining 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, butter or margarine, and milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for one minute. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let it cool. Beat until thickened, adding a splash of milk if needed. Spread the frosting on your cake.
