My auntie passed away this year and she taught me how to cook. But it was killing me not being able to remember the steps to caramel. I got the entire Thanksgiving meal prepared, and couldn't remember the caramel. Thanks so much for this. And funny enough, your beautiful voice reminds me of her. May God richly bless you and your family. Thanks so much for sharing. 💜🙏🏿✝️
The same thing happen with me!
So sorry to hear that.😢😢😢😢😢 She was my cook to go to
What is the difference in this caramel and what we buy out the store ?
@FloJoBum ..this kind is made with love ..the store brand is processed ..this kind lays over your cake much more consistently because its fresh & hasn't been sitn on a shelf~
This frosting on a spice cake was my favorite growing up. My mom would make it for my birthday every year. She would whip it after it came off the burner to help it cool and thicken. I lost my mom a year ago, and thought I'd lost this recipe too! I'm so grateful I found this video and I'm going to make a spice cake with this frosting to honor her. Thank you!
My granny taught me this recipe. Now I'm the only one in the family that makes it, she has gone on now, & this is our 2nd Christmas without her beautiful presence, so now I will be continuing the tradtion. 💕 kudos u nailed it!!😋😍
💖
Can I ask you how you put the cakes together. How do you keep it in the middle
Bless you❤
Qq we will qq we q
@@shonuff38hot you make 2 separate rounds.. Ice them, then layer them.
Who knew this recipe was here for 5 yrs and I’ve been searching for a great Carmel recipe. Thank you for adding this. I’m 5 yrs late but better than never! ❤
My mom used to make this all the time. I never stayed in the kitchen to watch her (I always just came after she was done and just fixed a plate). She loved baking. Thankfully she is still with me and will be 70 years old this year. For the last couple of weeks she’s been saying she wants a homemade cake. I’m going to make this and surprise her with this cake. Thanks for sharing!
How'd she like the cake?
Wow that's a good idea to do for her ❤️👍👍
Back when I was growing up, this was the only frosting my mom made, she would have a chocolate sheet cake and she didn’t cook the Carmel as long as you did but she would poke holes in the cake, pour the Carmel over the top and then sprinkle chopped pecans! It was delicious, I’m glad to see this recipe!! Thank you!
Sounds like Texas sheet cake yumm my Big MoMA use to make it.🥰
I LOVE UR MOM'S IDEA 💡 I MADE IT FOR A FUNERAL REPASS WITH MY FAMOUS POUND CAKE AND BUTTER ROLLS LORD 🙏🏽❤️ THEY LOOOVED IT!💯 THANK U ,(I USE CAPS I'M VISUALLY IMPAIRED)
That sounds amazing!!!
Mine too 👍🏾
Oh my goodness.
I’ve been trying to get this caramel frosting recipe from a friend who’s mom use to make it but she refused to share the recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I plan to make it this weekend. I’m so excited!!!😂
I almost had tears in my eyes. This takes me back. I'm going to the grocery store when I get off work this morning to get the ingredients. I'm making this. Bless you and your ministry.
Yummy
Lol! Just made it!
You
You are really doing a great job reminding me of my grandma and Aunt
This took me back as well, I've been looking for this specific recipe forever because my mom did this exact same way but she made us kids stand there and constantly stir until it was ready and for some reason I thought it took forever to make, but she just said 15 minutes😏
Chris you just don't know how many memories you bring back.et me set the stage: My mother's mother (ma) lived in middle Georgia, mother and I lived in South Georgia, we would visit often and when we would visit and turned on the road where she lived I promise you could smell her cooking. She was old school, grew up during the depression, and was a lunchroom manager at the local elementery school.....she could "throw down" in the kitchen with anything but I remember most of all her caramel cakes. Most of the time she had made them before we arrived but I did get to watch her make them from time to time. She made EVERYthing from scratch I don't think she knew what Betty crocker was. She made her cake on cast iron griddles on top of the stove, she used two and would flip them once they were brown and use a plate to trim them once they were cool. She would have 18 layers and toothpicks everywhere! She made the frosting just like you did. When she was in the kitchen she didn't want anyone in there or talking to her she was all business! Thank you so much for allowing my mind to drift back to the 80's for a brief moment, for the duration of this video mrs Chris was my sweet ma!
Jason King I was from Macon, Ga, and I really miss those kinds of cakes and banana pudding.
That is so sweet. When you said Ms. Chris was your sweet ma, I started crying. Just beautiful.
Sounds like my story😀😍I cook everything from scratch I'm a country girl😁MARY FROM SAGINAW MICH
So beautiful.
Lost my mother last year and it has been one of the toughest trials ever. I hurt for you but am so glad that you have such sweet memories to hold on to. I will always say that at scratch homemade cakes and frostings will always be the best. My mom’s biscuits , gravy and fatback is what I truly miss the most. We always had garden sliced tomatoes with it…😋😋😋💕🙏
You have revived a long n distant memory.
My mom wasn't a fancy cook by no means.
But she made this very thing. Thank you for that. I will now pass this on to my daughter.
I’ve been making this caramel and yellow or chocolate cake almost every day since I’ve learned how to make your caramel recipe 😊! Your way of making the caramel is a HIT ! Thank you & God bless you!
I’ve been looking for this recipe forever. I remember my neighbor making this every holiday for all the neighbors to share. Thank you for this
I made your caramel frosting and put it on a layered 7- up cake. I want to thank you for giving us this recipe, it reminded me of my mothers cake. My family loves it.
Thank you Chris!! Love your Videos! You are Great! I’ve learned so much from Ypu!
How did you make the 7up cake?
Recipe for the cake?
@@Davida662 Chris has a great recipe
@@colleenpritchett6914 thank you!
I had forgotten all about this icing, but remember probably my mother making this when I was little. People used to use evaporated milk in a lot of recipes way back when, I still do. Thank you for posting it!
Thank you, Thank you for this authentic carmel frosting! I lost mine given to me many years ago by a 75 year old church mother. The other recipes for carmel frosting using brown sugar and or Karo syrup is not the old time recipe way. Thanks a million!
I smile every time I make this delicious caramel. I know it was posted years ago, but trust this recipe is the absolute caramel truth for old school caramel frosting! Many thanks for sharing the recipe and the process Chris! Listen when she says DON"T BURN IT! Lol.

She teaching the old school good shit. The directions as you speak is so clear
OMG!!!!!! Just made this and its so GOOD!!!!!!! Ive tried to make several caramel frosting and they never turned out this is my favorite!!!! Thank you so much
My grandmother would make this cake for my birthday every summer when I was growing up. It is my all time favorite. This year I am making it for myself and needed a refresher on the Icing. Thank you so much!
Hi. I was raised by my sisters, but only one was the cook. My sister Frans always did what we call now homemade. She's gone on now and I could never remember her complete recipe you took me back to memory lane. Thanks. Loving your channel.
I had you video playing as I made the caramel and it turned out delicious. Thanks so much. I always wanted to learn how to make this icing. Thanks so so much again!!!!
I made this for Thanksgiving, it was wonderful, my husband was so delighted. Thank you momma Chris ❤️
I just want to let you know I made the caramel cake yesterday. That caramel is my new base recipe for apples cakes and everything. It is really cool to watch white sugar break down to a new substance. Yay!!!!
Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I do believe THIS IS THE ONE my Great Aunt Mattie used to make for holiday dinners and on other special occasions!!!!!
Watching your video brought up cherished childhood memories! I'm going to make this recipe and surprise my mom with it next Sunday! 😊
Thank you, Chris! 😊 ❤
This is my mom's exact recipe. Love this! She would sometimes add pecans, sometimes make one layer chocolate. Delicious!
5 yrs later and its still educational ~ I love it 😀 Thank you... I'm trying this for Easter 2022 ❤
Mrs. Chris your recipe is STILL a hit in 2019! Thank you for sharing 😍
I’ve been searching for a recipe like my grandmother’s, and this looks like the real deal. Thank you! Will try this today to make a birthday cake for my mom’s 70th. That’s her wish, a good old fashioned caramel cake. :)
This is the Carmel I remember on my friends Grandma's Carmel cake. Thank you for this video 😍❤️
Hi Ms. Chris this is just the way my grandmother use to make it when I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing!
I recall this being made your way and I would see my elders boil sweetened condensed milk until it browned to create the caramel....Thank you for the recipe and sweet memories ❤
My mom used to boil the can of sweetened condensed milk too but then I read that the can sometimes explodes so I never did it myself.
I was trying to get the recipe from my mom, but it was 2am when I was making the cake. I am soo glad I ran across this video. I tried your recipe and it turned out perfect. Taste the exact same way as my mom's Carmel cake. I haven't had her cake in over 20 years.
Making this cake was a nostalgic moment for me. I will definitely be making more Carmel cakes in the future. Thank you.
Really loved this recipe
Your instructions were so easy to follow. Thank you for this particular recipe. This one goes into my recipe box for much future use.
I came across this recipe a couple of days before Thanksgiving and I to try it. It brought back alot of good memories of my childhood. BEST RECIPE EVER!!!!!! BE BLESSED 😇
I watched this last year. Watching it again this year. Gonna give it a try this Christmas. I really enjoy hearing you talk about your recipes with a lot of love. Reminds me of my mom. Thanks
Girl you brought back a many memories of my aunt making that cake every Sunday and it looks gorgeous . Thanks for the memories God bless you
I remember making this with my aunt some 40 yrs ago when I was little and forgotten alot since then I remembered her speaking of milnot
you deserve a sub thank you
My husband is gonna love me for making him a Carmel cake this Sunday. Thank you. That looks delicious
Ms. Chris thank you so much for sharing this recipe❤️❤️I’ve been looking for a good Carmel cake recipe and yours brought back some many memories of my grandma. May God continue to bless you and allow you to share those comfort and delicious recipes with us! I’ve used your recipe several times. Got rave reviews from it
I love your home style cooking. Reminds me of the southern style cooking my did for us kids. You make feel like we're standing right next to you learning old family recipes. Thank you
I've been looking for this recipe forever! Thank you so much for sharing you families wonderful recipe!
I make caramel slightly different. I use heavy cream instead of milk. I brown the sugar in a few tbl of water. Once I get the desired level of darkness, I drop the butter in there (cold) and heavy cream. Then I cook it down. With heavy cream, it won't take as long for it to thicken.
I'll have to try this recipe. I'd like to taste the difference in the two recipes. I'm sure this one is delicious as well. 😋😋😋
Any updates?
Thank you!!!!! I made this carmel frosting yesterday and it is absolutely delicious! Your directions were so easy to follow. I made a 7UP cake and used this frosting and OMG, this cake is about to be gone in record time! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share these recipes with us.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I've been searching for it forever. This is old school! The recipe I grew up on and my cake turned out perfect! My whole family is excited. Thank you!
Thank you! I've looked for a good recipe for caramel frosting. My late auntie Gladys used to be an "expert" at making this frosting. Yours look the most like hers.
Thank you so much for this recipe!!!! I followed your instructions to the T and my caramel frosting came out superb!!!!! Thank you for sharing!! You are such an awesome cook and baker!!!!!!!
Thank you all my elders passed away I just bought a 60 cake from South Carolina praying it was this version I really appreciate you 💪🏾💙
My dad use to make this cake for us every holiday it was sooooo good I never got a chance to ask him to teach me before he passed now that I have ran across your video it brings back so many memories and good feelings I will definitely be making this cake for Christmas so that a part of my dad will here with us got the holidays😊
Chris, I've been been making your Carmel icing since I've watched a few years ago. Just perfect. Thanks girl.
I didn't know to make this, now I do. It turned out great. Thanks you make excellent dishes.
Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I have done this icing before, but the lady that I watched was a little more complicated to do and I have found this to be easier. I am making this to celebrate my daddy's 82nd birthday. My granny and mom use to make it for him, but they are gone and it is lovely to eat this cake and reminisce. I can tell that the cake brings back lovely memories of your mom too.
That is the most perfect looking caramel frosting I've seen so far. Great job Chris
Thank you for this. I’m going to try it. My Grandmother used to make this back in the 70s. I guess there are several ways to do it, but the end result should be the same- smooth and caramel tasting. I remember her putting some of the granulated sugar in a cast iron skillet and letting the edges of the sugar brown over very low heat. Then she would put in carnation milk and a little pet milk along with the butter. She’d put in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and stir until it was ready. People would beg her to make caramel cakes for them. I miss that old lady. I really do.
My mother used to make hers in a cast iron skillet too.
That is exactly how my mom made it and in an iron skillet. She would go out on the back porch and hold that skillet up and stirring it until it cool. I always wondered how she was strong enough to do it. Out of all her sisters hers was the best. I really miss my mom and Granny whom mom learned this from.
All you have to do is add brown sugar that's hard work
There are several ways to make it. I personally use brown sugar because the white sugar often came out too grainy or required a longer cooking time. I've also used, whole milk, heavy cream or half and half...whatever I have on hand.
@@mildredwood7156I’d never eat you guys food. Sometimes it’s the extra work that creates a unique dish. Brown sugar would give it a maple syrup type of taste.
made this today...no cake left! thank u Mrs. Chris 💗💗
Thank you SO SO SO much for this. My granny made this. She always poured it over a chocolate cake, and we couldn't touch it until it was set up. I never thought to learn to make it from her, and then she was gone. Thank you. I truly love you for this.
So glad I found this video! This is the recipe my momma used and I couldn’t remember exactly how she did it. Thank you so much for taking time to show us how it’s done. Making it this weekend for my brothers.
OMG! My new favorite recipe! It turned out perfect and delicious! Just takes patience.Thank you!
Your caramel cake remind me of Mother Telfair’s cake and she made the best!
I agree you are a clean cook, your dish cloth is very clean!
My Aunt Mae made THE most amazing caramel cake. Mrs Chris's thumbnail looked just like hers and is made with just as much love. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. I've watched this video several times since locating it. My father who learned this recipe from his mother would make the best caramel cakes. I was so busy eating them, I forget to watch. But thanks to you not minding to share i am feeling blessed. Thanks Sherrie for getting your friend to show you and her listeners. God Blesss and stay safe.
Thank-you! Looks just like the icing my Grandma used to make....nothing fancy, just simple goodness!
man thats something kind of beautiful, memories from big mama, Thanks for sharing, God bless you,
I just made this! And you were right about that bubbling up with the addition of the milk. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️ I can't wait to try this with a slice of cake 🎂. Making this for my family for Thanksgiving 😊 hugs and kisses to you Ms. Chris!
A sugar roux,what a great description.I nicknamed this"stir your heart out frosting"when Grandma taught me.Thank's for the reminder,I'd forgotten .This is going on my Grandsons birthday cake this weekend!
When my grandmother made caramel icing, she started with just the sugar in the pan and cooked it until it melted into a liquid. After the white sugar became completely liquid and browned, then she added the other ingredients.
That's how I do it
Absolutely delicious. I didn’t like other Caramel recipes. This one is so easy and gets 5 of 5 stars. Thank you
Chris. Your baking is the best. Nothing beats the old school ways
Thank you for these old recipes that my mother and grandmother used to make
Thank you so much for sharing this! My Daddy used to talk about my Grandma making a Caramel Cake and I could never figure out how it was made! I am almost sure this is it! Again thank you!
This looks just like my grandmother’s caramel cake. Omg so many memories. I’m making this for thanksgiving tomorrow. I never learned how she made it. I always thought I had more time
Thank you so much! Reminds me of a store in Augusta , Ga that used to make these cakes with the old fashioned caramel frosting back in the 1960’s.
Just beautiful!! I had forgotten about this icing! My husband is going to be so happy when he sees this!!❤
You took me back to the little girl that begged for the pot and spoon so I could lick it down. I just might have to make this frosting to take me back even futher back. Thank you.😘💜
I love how you teach. You tell the ingredients plus how much too use.. that makes doing it soooo much easier thank you ..
With you and she reminds me of my mom
Yes she do BIG FACTS n THE only ONE BE, Blessed
Such a beautiful cake. I make a carmel cake every Christmas a tradition in my familt started by my mother. We use to carmelize our sugar first the boil it in the evaporated milk and butter. Your cake is a beauty!
Thank you. My mom and sisters used to make this every year. I loved it.
New subscriber! That cake is looking real good! I miss all them old fashioned meals and cakes my mom use to make but I never saw her make the caramel frosting before... Thank you so much❤️
Thanks for sharing....it looks like something I could possibly do...I'll give it a try next time I attempt to prepare a meal....
OMG! I almost licked my phone. I can’t wait to make this. Thanks for the recipe.
I made this today! The instructions were easy to follow! It was Absolutely Delicious!! Thank You Ms. Chris!
Thank you for this recipe. This is my favorite frosting and it looks just like my Grandma used to make. Blessings
OMG I woke to this video. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. You are awesome MS. CHRIS. I'm making this TODAY. This takes me wayyyyyyyy back. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for taking time out of your busy holiday to do this for US!
Sherry Savage Please send me feedback on how your Frosting turned out.😁
@@chriscook4u2 hi Chris can you please tell me whIch butter too use for Carmel frosting salted or unsalted?
@@patricewelch976 Always salted butter unless I specifically state use unsalted butter.😃
@@chriscook4u2 ok thank you so much, keeping my finger cross that it come out perfect ☺️
I think I have watched most of your videos and have cooked several of your recipes. My favorite so far that Ive cooked is the gumbo recipe and your butter roll. My boyfriend was so incredibly happy about the Butter Roll recipe because he told me about his grandma cooking it when I had never heard of it before and I researched until I found a recipe and the taste brought him back to his child hood! He was so happy.
I stumbled across this Carmel video today and my mouth is watering. I am so proud of you and I don't even know you. I feel like you could be someone that is part of my family. I live in chicago so it's possible :) you're like a loving auntie lol. I just purchased your book a few minutes ago because I want all of the recipes printed out in my kitchen.
Please always stay encouraged and please always continue to be you and please always continue to share all of your wonderful soulful recipes with us. YOU ARE APPRECIATED Chris!!
Oh I would love the butter roll recipe, I used to help my Aunt make them as a child. She's passed on and can't remember the recipe. Most ppl are not familiar wth the butter roll when I've talked abt it. Delicious!
@@carlisaflakes122 definitely try it!! She has it on her channel.
You are such an awesome cook and great instructor. I tried this and it came out wonderful on the first try. Thank you
OH MY GOODNESS!!! THe first I remember this frosting being made was my Mother making this before World War 2 started, and she put this on her big chocolate cake . I probably was only 4 years old. I can still taste it im my mind's eye. Bless you my dear, for bringing back the memories of my Mama's baking.
Chris I just made this frosting or totally rocks! I got up and made the 7 up cake this morning tgua took ne back to the early days if my childhood thanks for taking me back down memory lane. Happy cooking
this bring me back to high school went i got out for the holidays i know this was my job. stand and stir the frosting but it was all worth it. thank you for the recipe
maam, ypu habe saved me so many times when i need a caramel icing. I've seen a ton of recipes, but this one by far is the best. thank you so much
Yassss!!!
Thank you for showing me the right way to make this caramel icing.
Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother made this recipe. It was a wonderful memory of her. I have tried to make this icing but I did not know the process and when to add the ingredients so I have not been able to get it right. I can’t wait to try it now that I know how to make it correctly. Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy and pass down a family tradition.
Just in time! Busted my cell and just now getting all of my stuff back! Scared me cause I thought I'd lost your yeast rolls video, now they are going in the family cookbook! Love you Cris!
Ms. Chris I am so sorry for delay I have been in bed until 2pm today. I was and am still exhausted. I bake for friends and I had to cook for my home too. No disrespect to you ma'am but GIRLLLLL 😊 you did that. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I was able to get it right and my husband said honey you took me way back. His mom and aunties are all gone so I thank you. He really enjoyed it. You are awesome and I looked in my cookbook I bought from you and Lord there was the recipe. So sorry for nagging you and this long note. I'm looking for you in 2017. God Bless you and your family and happy new year.
Sherry Savage Thank you so much for the feedback. I am so happy I could help and you enjoyed it. My cake did not make it to Christmas 🎄. That cake was gone, lol. My family enjoyed it as well. God Bless.
Question do you use salted or unsalted butter? I don’t think she ever said.
I followed you completely....thought my arm was gonna fall off...but holy moly....so worth it...thank you.turned out awesome
Haha thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to try this. Looks amazing.
That's how it is when making praline candy 😂😂😂😂😂
Mines too! This sauce almost took me out!! Turned out greattt!!🙌🏾
Thanks so much for this recipe. I haven’t ate a Carmel cake since my mom was sick because it seemed like no one’s caramel cake came close to tasting like her cake. Your recipe is almost her exact recipe. At least it has an awesomely good taste. I can’t stop making it or eating it. It is sooooo delicious. Thank you so much.
Chris, you make me happy just listening to you and watching you cook. I have tried a number of your recipes and everyone was delicious. I like to eat the way you like to cook!!! Thank you!
You are an excellent clean cook! This caramel icing replicates my Mother's, but my Mother mixed her sugar and evaporated milk together first, then she'd added butter and vanilla, equally a long process but well worth the wait.
One thing I forgot, I was so happy to see that you make real caramel, people mistakenly make caramel out of brown sugar and call it caramel and I've never eaten a Kraft caramel or any other real caramel out of brown sugar, thats not real caramel, that's a fake caramel, color generated by brown sugar.
Jennifer Bynum
That is the recipe I have been looking for, for years!!! My mother did it like yours.
Do or can yo post the recipe p!ease? I would love, love, love to have it and would do appreciate ate it!!
My mom did it this way too!!! (I was the stirrer!)
Jennifer Bynumand
Could you post you mom's caramel icing recipe and her process for making it? Thanks so much!
yes my grandma made her like this. I’ve been wanted one for the last 3 years. 😍😍😍And lady at the job made one last years for me. It was her first time. They have never heard of a Carmel cake.😵😵😵😵
Ohhh I miss my grandma that I could call on when it comes to Cooking. But you really made my day
Your recipe looks like the best of all I have seen. Thank you for sharing. I plan to use it real soon.
Made this last month. Such a delicious caramel frosting. Making it again today. Your directions are perfect
Thank you Chris for sharing this recipe. This is the first time that I have made perfect caramel icing. Thank you again.
Chris totally LOVE your recipe and video. THANK YOU for sharing !! Came across it today by accident but a Good Accident as it is what I needed for the cake I am going to contribute to our Thanksgiving luncheon Nov 22 at our Senior community.
Thank you so much for the recipe and the video itself. You have taken me back to the kitchen with my auntie. I can't taste what you are cooking but i KNOW that its right! 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you.. I followed your directions for the caramel frosting and it was excellent. The taste and consistency reminded me of my aunts who made caramel cakes from scratch when we were children and brought back some wonderful and delicious memories. Again, thank you.
Thank you Chris. You left no room for error. Your recipe if followed according to your directions will yield as promised old fashioned Carmel Glaze. Thanks again ! RMH/Ohio
