1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups milk

Caramel Cake Icing
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 14 oz. can Eagle Brand milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook
2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and
bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool until fairly thick and just warm. Pour over cakes and assemble layers. Keep piling icing back onto cake with knife until cooled.*
*Hint: Dip your knife in a glass of room temperature water as you are icing cake; this keeps the icing smooth so it won't get "grainy" looking.
