Easy Southern Caramel Cake Recipe Made From Scratch

There’s no doubt that the star of a classic Southern caramel cake is the frosting. The rich deeply flavored frosting hardens as it sets creating a candy-like shell that sets it apart from your typical layer cake. Buttermilk — a signature Southern ingredient — is added to both the cake and the frosting for a delicious flavor that balances out the sweetness of the caramel.

Inspired by the famous New Orleans Doberge cake which has a European influence making a traditional Southern caramel cake can seem like a daunting task at first. This recipe is designed to help bakers who want to improve their cake baking skills without too much of a challenge. Just make sure you have everything ready as many steps require you to work quickly.
