Ingredients:
- 1 box. classic white cake mix
- 4 lg. eggs
- 1/3 c. cook & serve butterscotch pudding mix
- 3/4 c. orange juice, no pulp
- 1 dash salt
- 3 c. light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 6 Tbsp. butter, salted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 9″ round pans.
Blend together cake mix, juice and pudding mix. In a separate bowl, carefully beat eggs and salt until an even lemon yellow color. Mix eggs into batter. Evenly divide mixture between cake pans. Bake for about 24 minutes.
After the cakes are cooled: Mix brown sugar and cream together. Cook without stirring in a saucepan over medium-high heat until candy mixture reaches 238F. Remove from heat and cool until mixture reaches 140F. Cut butter into pieces over the top of the caramel and beat with an electric mixer on medium to medium-high. When caramel lightens in color and holds its shape — about 5 minutes — it is ready. Immediately use to frost the cake.
Served best soon after completion. Also, oddly enough, try grinding a tiny bit of sea salt over a slice.
