I made this cake for Christmas. It was good, but I think I'll tweak the recipe a bit before making it again. It seemed to be missing something. Perhaps adding pecans to the filling would help and substituting whipped cream frosting in place of the cream cheese frosting. I'll have to experiment. Overall it wasgood.
Caramel Cream Cake
This three-layer butter cake has a pecan-pie filling in between the cake layers, a rich cream cheese frosting, and a topping of sweet coconut and chopped pecans. It's a great dessert for holiday entertaining.
