Caramel Cake Made From Scratch

A few months ago I was discussing the good ole days with my mother. I call her Mama Ruby. Mom has always lived for cooking, and, as a younster, I was acquained with family and friend get togethers and meals that would make any fancy up-town chef humble in repect. I am speakin' of country cuisine which waters your mouth niagra style! One of my favorites was her old fashioned, made from scratch caramel cake. My mind's eye is twitching with excitement with just the memory of this Mama Ruby delicacy!

Anyway, My mom has given me permission to publish it on the web for your enjoyment! All other rights are reserved by her.
