Time 27m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (18 ounce) package spice cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup applesauce (plain)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 cup blackberry jam (Smuckers)
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 stick (NO substitutes or it will fail)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk (Pet)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare three 8" or two 9" round cake pans.
  • Mix the cake mix and cinnamon together.
  • Add the buttermilk, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and jam.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Fold in the raisins and nuts.
  • Pour batter into pans.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until they spring back when touched lightly in the middle.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; invert cakes onto wire cooling racks.
  • Set aside and prepare frosting.
  • FROSTING:.
  • Use the butter wrapper to grease the inside of a saucepan.
  • Over medium heat melt butter and brown sugar together; bring to a boil.
  • Stir and boil for 2 minutes exactly.
  • Stir in evaporated milk; bring to boil.
  • Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Not only do I double the recipe, but at the end I put it in a mixing bowl before it cools down and beat it with a mixer. When it starts cooling it will get thicker, so frost cake before it hardens.
  • I made seven of these yesterday, wrapped them in plastic wrap after they cooled, put them in cake boxes with a bow and a tag and they made WONDERFUL (and very appreciated) presents for family and friends.
  • Enjoy, and please let me know if you enjoy them as much as we do!

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a heavy 3-quart saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture reaches a pudding-like thickness. Remove from heat.
  • Quick Caramel-Pecan Frosting: Prepare Quick Caramel Frosting as directed; remove from heat, and stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans.
  • Quick Caramel-Coconut-Pecan Frosting: Prepare Quick Caramel Frosting as directed; stir in 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut and 1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: Make the caramel frosting ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When ready to use, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before stirring until smooth.
  • Use a heavy saucepan: This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Stir constantly: Don't walk away from the saucepan while the sugar is melting. Stirring constantly will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Add the cream slowly: Be careful when adding the cream to the hot sugar. Add it slowly and whisk constantly to avoid splattering.
  • Let the frosting cool slightly before using: This will help it to thicken and become more spreadable.
  • Store the frosting properly: Keep the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the frosting for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
