Here is a recipe that you simply MUST try! This recipe is a home made replica/takeoff from addapinch.com of the world famous 7 Layer Caramel Cake from Caroline’s in South Carolina. The cake itself has become something of a Mother’s Day staple over the years. These cakes are shipped nation-wide, and they are NOT cheap– expect to pay upwards of 60-75 bucks for one of these babies! But now you can (try to) make your own, and at a fraction of the cost! There might not be a real substitute for the real thing, but this recipe might be worth a shot.

Here is what you’ll need to make Caroline’s 7-Layer Caramel Cake:

Cake:

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour, self-rising
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
