SANDERS CARAMEL CAKE!



Sanders Caramel Cake! image

This is a Detroit-area favorite. I recently made this for my mom's birthday, since it was always her favorite cake, and it turned out delicious! The icing is the actual Sanders recipe that was printed in the Detroit News in 1973, and will frost a two-layer 9" cake. The cake recipe is from Gourmet, Jan. 2008 and will only make a 1-layer cake, so double the recipe if you would like 2 layers. Enjoy!

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 1 cake, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb caramel
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup sweet butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 tablespoons sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature 30 minutes
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Start with the icing: place the caramels and water in a double boiler. Heat and stir until smooth and creamy. Cool.
  • Place butter in a mixing bowl, add sugar and mix at a low speed to a smooth paste. Mix at a medium speed while adding the caramel mixture. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: butter an 8-inch square cake pan and line with a square of parchment paper, then butter parchment.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, beat in buttermilk until just combined (mixture may look curdled). Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing until each addition is just incorporated.
  • Spread batter evenly in cake pan, then rap pan on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles. Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a knife around edge of pan. Invert onto rack and discard parchment, then cool completely, about 1 hour.

BANANA CARAMEL CAKE



Banana Caramel Cake image

Adapted from Essence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine Chocolate Now if only I could make this into a frozen dessert cause I love this combination.

Provided by Topher

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 ounces chocolate, broken into small pieces (I used a 65% chocolate)
3 ripe bananas, diced
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Butter and flour a tube pan or a bundt pan that can hold 12 cups.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt and baking soda).
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs, oil and sugar. With the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that the sugar has been incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix for another 30 seconds.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients a bit at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl every now and then to ensure everything is incorporated.
  • Once the dry ingredients have been added, remove the bowl from the stand mixer and add the chocolate and bananas. Gently fold them in with a spatula or a wooden spoon. Don't over mix.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes and then test the cake to see if it's done by poking a toothpick or cake tester into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. If not, bake the cake for another 5 to 10 minutes. In my oven, this cake took 55 minutes.
  • About 5 to 10 minutes before the cake is done, make the caramel by combining all the ingredients in a small pan. Bring to the boil and stir occasionally to ensure that it doesn't burn. Let it boil for about 5 minutes and then turn off the heat.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer. Immediately pour the caramel over the cake, stopping every now and then to let the caramel sink inches If the caramel pools in spots, poke more holes to allow it to sink inches.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once it's cool, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan and then unmold it onto a plate.

BANANA & RUM CARAMEL CAKE



Banana & Rum Caramel Cake image

This single layer cake looks beautiful and tastes great - I always love the combination of banana with caramel. The addition of rum to the caramel takes it over the top! You can even replace the banana in this recipe with pumpkin puree for fall baking.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
150 g light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons dark rum
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup pecans
1 small banana, sliced into coins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350oF, grease and line a deep 9-inch cake tin.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and light brown sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well mixed. Stir in the mashed banana and yoghurt. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and stir together until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Caramel:.
  • Place the heavy cream and butter in a small pot over a low heat so that the butter melts and the cream starts to steam.
  • Meanwhile heat the sugar in a light-coloured pan over a medium heat. Once the sugar starts to melt start to tilt and swirl the pan so that the sugar mixes with the melted caramel and evenly melts. Once the sugar has all melted and has turned from light yellow to amber, turn the heat down to low and pour in the warm cream and butter mixture - this will bubble up so be careful. Stir together until smooth then take off the heat and stir in the salt. Let cool for 5 minutes then stir in the rum. Leave to cool completely.
  • Decorate:.
  • Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with a whisk until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake then pour over the cooled caramel. Top with the pecans and sliced banana. Serve immediately or keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Time 2h22m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups butter
5 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) package brown sugar
1 cup butter
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup evaporated milk
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
  • Cream white sugar, 1 1/2 cups butter, and eggs together in a bowl. Beat well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the sugar mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla extract. Beat until batter makes ribbons when falling from the whisk or beater. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of the recipe.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter. If you're using butter, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using. You can also microwave the butter for a few seconds, but be careful not to melt it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no lumps remain.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven can affect the texture of the cake. A lower temperature will result in a denser cake, while a higher temperature will result in a lighter cake. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully to ensure the cake is baked at the correct temperature.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake. You can also chill the cake for a few hours or overnight before frosting it.

With its moist and fluffy texture, rich caramel flavor, and decadent frosting, this 32k Caramel Cake is sure to be a hit at any occasion.
