How to Make 1 2 3 4 Cake With Caramel Icing

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the cake batter according to your chosen recipe (full, double, or 1.5x).
  3. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the cakes cool, prepare the caramel icing:
  7. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  8. Gradually add the milk and confectioners' sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers, spreading the icing evenly between each layer and on top.
  10. Enjoy your delicious 1 2 3 4 cake!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
