My mom used to make spice cake with caramel frosting. I love it so much...it tastes like my childhood. I got a craving for it today, and I had pumpkin, so this is what I made:
Pumpkin Cake
1 3/4 c sugar
4 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
1 can pumpkin
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Mix first four ingredients until well blended. Add dry ingredients, beat on medium for two minutes. Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 cake pan.
Bake for 45 minutes at 350. (For cupcakes, 17-20 minutes at 350) . Allow to cool before frosting.
Caramel Frosting:
1/2 c butter
1 c packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 T milk
3 c sifted powdered sugar
Melt butter and add brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, cool slightly then whisk in milk. Return to a boil, then remove from heat. Let cool to lukewarm (about 15 minutes). Stir in powdered sugar. (If it's too think, you can add a little milk, or if it's too thin, more sugar.) Spread on cooled cake.
Enjoy!
