The Help Caramel Cake
Рет қаралды 70,203
Күн бұрынAfter reading the book The Help for the 5th or 6th time I figured it was time to give Minny Jacksons cooking a try. She is said to be the best cook in Jackson, Mississippi and I wanted a chance to try.
The book and the movie are both amazing, but they never mention Minnys Caramel Cake in the movie....I suppose her special pie was that much more interesting. But my stomach was set on trying caramel cake and hopefully this is what Kathryn Stockett had in mind.
*Hey ya'll!! So the amount of cake flour I mentioned in the video is incorrect, it's 2 cups of flour not 1.5 cups!!
Here is the recipe I used:
Buttermilk Cake
1.5 Sticks Butter
1.5 c. Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs
1 T. Vanilla Extract
2 c. Cake Flour
2.5 t. Baking Powder
1/2 t. Salt
1 c. Buttermilk
Caramel Icing
1.5 Sticks Butter
2 c. Granulated Sugar
12 oz. Evaporated Milk
1 t. Vanilla Extract
1 T. All-purpose Flour
Pinch of Salt
-Just follow the steps in my video and enjoy!! :-).
I'd love to read some other great stories so if there are any other fellow bookworms out there that have a novel idea for me to try please leave a comment below! Did you try the recipe? What did you do to make it your own? Let me know, I love hearing how people experiment...

If you dip your cake spreader in water while spreading the icing it will be easier to spread. Smoother outcome and easier to cover holes.

FYI, the creaming step should take at least 4-5 minutes and the mixture will be light and fluffy. (like frosting almost) This step is crucial for a successful outcome.

Why flour in the caramel icing recipe? Is that a thickening agent?

I saw this recipe a while back. The frosting looked firmer than a lot of other recipes which seemed to have a thinner, glaze-like consistency. Does the frosting stay soft or does it firm up like caramel candy?
@kevinfutamachi4052 5 жыл бұрын
milkandhoney84 Hey!! Yeah, most of the recipes I researched before making this one were more of a glaze that was poured over the cake. But I wanted something that was spreadable and workable. It does firm up, but doesn’t get super stiff like a caramel candy. When at room temperature it’s more like a thick fudge frosting! Nom-nom! 😊

@@kevinfutamachi4052 I agree with wanting thicker icing. It took longer than 7 minutes to get it to a thick icing. Once it reached soft ball temperature, I poured it in the mixing bowl and started mixing. It was not cool enough to do anything in 7 minutes. Did you cool yours prior to mixing?
