Found this in Southern Living Magazine probably 15 years ago. I have made it several times. It is very sweet. But very delicious. Cut it into very thin slices.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the caramel sauce was too runny.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to the right consistency, but overall this cake was a success.
