INGREDIENTS

  • Cake Batter

    • 🥚 3 eggs, room temperature
    • 🧈 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 🍚 1 1/2 cups white sugar
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Caramel Icing

    • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    • 3 tablespoons cream
    • 🧈 1/4 cup butter
    • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.

2

Beat butter and white sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.

3

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.

4

Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk into the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.

5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and let cool completely.

7

To make the caramel icing, heat brown sugar, cream, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

8

Stir in confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Adjust consistency with more cream or confectioners' sugar as needed, then spread icing over the cooled cake.
