Carson isn't very specific about food, and usually leaves what we're going to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner up to me. But his birthday cake this year was a different story. I think I want a banana caramel cake. Got it, easy enough. I found a recipe and showed him. Well, I don't really want chunks of banana, I was thinking more like banana pudding. Ok, that sounds good. And how about I mush bananas in the cake batter to really bring out the flavor? No, that's too much banana. I'd like a white cake. Ok, and I'll drizzle caramel on the top. Buttttttt, maybe you should also drizzle it inside. And it should be salted. With a whipped frosting. Right.
I'm okay with a man who knows what he likes in a cake.
So, I made a white cake from a box, and some banana pudding from a box (look, I was cooking food for a dozen people and had to compromise somewhere), with this Salted Butter Caramel Sauce and this Seven Minute Frosting. Here's how I put it all together...
melting sugar...
salted butter and heavy cream...
caramel sauce...
assembling with pudding and cooled caramel sauce...
two layers...
the prettiest frosting you'll ever make that tastes like marshmallows...
Carson approved. In fact, all dozen guests approved too : )
