Salted Caramel Glaze
  • 6 TBL butter

Caramel Buttercream frosting
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 TBL soft butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla

  • Salted Caramel Glaze to flavor as desired, I used half of the above recipe, then saved the remainder to drizzle.
Instructions
  1. Prepare 12 cup bundt cake pan using Pam with flour or grease with shortening and dust with flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. Fill bundt cake pan and bake 40 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove to cake plate.
  4. While cake is baking, prepare frosting and caramel glaze.
  5. FROSTING:
  6. Beat powdered sugar, 3 TBL soft butter, vanilla, cinnamon and 6 TBL cream until blended. Add Caramel to desired consistency and flavor. * I used half of the above recipe of the glaze.
  7. CARAMEL GLAZE
  8. Melt 6 TBL butter in large saucepan.
  9. Add brown sugar, cream, corn syrup and bring to boil on medium high heat.
  10. Boil 3 minutes until thick while stirring.
  11. Remove from heat. Add salt.
  12. Cool prior to adding to frosting.
  13. Frost cake and drizzle with remaining caramel glaze.
Notes
I included the recipe for homemade salted caramel sauce. To save time, you can also substitute store bought caramel topping. Add the caramel to your frosting for taste, color and consistency. Save some for drizzle.
*You can use pumpkin pie spice from the grocer or make your own:
1 TBL cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
½ tsp cloves
½ tsp mace
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp allspice
This makes a bit more than 2 TBL. Will keep in an airtight container for 1 year.
