Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought caramel sauce? While you can use store-bought caramel sauce in a pinch, making the caramel frosting from scratch gives the cake its authentic Southern flavor and texture.
What if my caramel frosting hardens before I finish frosting the cake? If the caramel frosting hardens, you can gently reheat it on low heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a spreadable consistency again.
Can I make this cake ahead of time? Yes, you can bake the cake layers a day ahead and store them wrapped in plastic wrap. Frost the cake on the day you plan to serve it for the best results.
