I've never been a huge fan of caramel, but this cake changed my mind. The frosting is so light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the moist cake.

This caramel cake is an absolute delight! The cake is moist and fluffy, while the caramel frosting is rich and creamy. The combination of the two is simply heavenly.
