It’s official. I am giving in to fall baking. A wonderful person from my past life as a talk show producer posted this on facebook.
The cake is a caramel layer cake with milk chocolate frosting in between the layers. The entire cakes is covered in caramel buttercream and topped with chocolate curls. Gorgeous, no? The ginger tweak is mine. I added powdered ginger to the cake batter and sprinkled crystalized ginger over the top in addition to the chocolate pieces.
The recipe also suggests using canned frosting and store bought jar of caramel which probably makes the whole process go a lot faster but I made my own in both cases.
The cake was moist and delicious with wonderful flavors. I highly recommend this magazine. You can get your own at Celebratemag.com. The magazine is also available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon and most likely, your local grocery store.

The ginger is definitely a great touch, and as for making your own frosting – I wouldn't expect anything less from you! : )
I love caramel anything, especially cake. I can see why you dove right into the fall baking. Time for me to get started.
Caramel cake is a favorite! The candied ginger is a great touch.
I like your additions to this cake. It's a beauty and the flavours are wonderful.
Delicioussss… when it's cooler here, 96 degrees outside, I will try my hand at baking some seasonal goodies!! Thanks for sharing.
