Caramel: Marie's Caramel Cake

Source of Recipe

Internet
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
3 cups self-rising flour
2 sticks butter
1 cup milk

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs 1 at a time. Alternate flour and milk; beat thoroughly; will make 4 layers [bake at 350 degrees (greased,floured pans) for about 30 minutes, until cake springs back when pressed lightly]

Filling :

3 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk [12oz]
1 stick butter
1 tsp.vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans

Cook sugar and cream [evaporated milk] together, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage, around 235 to 240° (10 to 15 minutes); take off heat. Add butter and beat until thickened and creamy. Spread on layers (wetting the knife makes spreading easier) and sprinkle with nuts on each layer. This makes a very moist cake.
