Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 ½ cups cake flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1 pinch salt

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch round pans. Sift flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt together and set aside.

  2. Cream 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until smooth.

  3. Divide batter into three 8 inch pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.

  4. Caramel Nut Frosting: In a heavy saucepan, combine 3 cups sugar, evaporated milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat and cook until soft ball stage. Stir with spatula to keep from sticking. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and nuts. Beat until spreading consistency.
