QUICK AND DEEELISH JAM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• CAKE:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until they spring back when touched lightly in the middle.
• Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; invert cakes onto wire cooling racks.
• Set aside and prepare frosting.
• FROSTING:.
• Use the butter wrapper to grease the inside of a saucepan.
• Over medium heat melt butter and brown sugar together; bring to a boil.
• Stir and boil for 2 minutes exactly.
• Stir in evaporated milk; bring to boil.
• Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Not only do I double the recipe, but at the end I put it in a mixing bowl before it cools down and beat it with a mixer. When it starts cooling it will get thicker, so frost cake before it hardens.
• I made seven of these yesterday, wrapped them in plastic wrap after they cooled, put them in cake boxes with a bow and a tag and they made WONDERFUL (and very appreciated) presents for family and friends.
• Enjoy, and please let me know if you enjoy them as much as we do!
