. When I read this month's challenge, I knew that this was going to be a very very sweet cake. I normally reduce the sugar specified in cake recipes and I did the same here.
My cake turned out dense and heavy. But it tasted good because of the caramel flavour. Not sure where I went wrong. When it first came out from the oven, it seem okay but after frosting and putting it in the fridge, it became heavy. I was going to try baking it again. But because I'm also baking and decorating all my Christmas cakes, I do not have the time. I'll be posting some Christmas cakes soon.
I had no problems with making the caramel required for the cake and icing.

Haha and I was missing the "sweet" challenges! Great job on your cake.
Well done, good for you. I barely completed my challenge in the nick of time too. My cake was dense & heavy too...but the frosting was delicious & addictive!
Your cake looks like it rose well. Excellent job!
Thanks Rosa. It was delicious eventhough it was dense.
Thanks Jo.
Deeba, your cake was beautifully decorated. I like caramel too.
Gretchen, it did rise but still dense.
What a wonderful evenly layer cake. And yes, I agree that the cake was too sweet, dense and heavy.
Anyway, well done on this month challenge.
That's a beautiful slice of caramel cake, MFS. The texture of mine is quite different, strangely enough (I too reduced the sugar in the cake drastically).
Your decorated cakes are, as usual, creations of great beauty. Your offspring's teachers must be ecstatic!
Elra because of the texture it was easy to layer.
Argus I prefer the texture that you have. The expression on his piano teacher's face was priceless when he gave her the cake. Have posted that cake yet.
i havent done mine yet...eeks..
might skip this one coz of the sugar overdose....your cake looks delish though...and your caramel looks so effortless....
