DirectionsInstructions Checklist
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.
Step 2
Cream white sugar, 1 1/2 cups butter, and eggs together in a bowl. Beat well.
Step 3
Combine flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the sugar mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla extract. Beat until batter makes ribbons when falling from the whisk or be**er. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool layers on a rack before icing, at least 1 hour.
Step 5
Combine brown sugar, 1 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add evaporated milk and continue stirring. Bring to a gentle boil and let bubble for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Mix confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into the butter-milk mixture using an electric mixer until icing caramelizes and thickens to the desired consistency.
Step 7
Spread icing onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; ice top and sides.
