I dedicate this book to every wannabe cook
who will dare criticism by getting into the kitchen
and stirring up some groceries.
- Maya Angelou
I first heard of this great poet and author while watching Oprah's show. What an inspiring lady! From then on, I can't get enough of her. It is very rare to come across people who can inspire you nowadays. She has a lot of books but I bought the one that has both my interests - food and stories.
After an incident with a teacher, she came home to a luscious layered caramel cake baked by her grandma to make her feel better. The story is inspiring so I made a mini version of this traditional Southern cake.

| Caramel Cake |
There are many recipes for this cake out there. But her recipe is so traditional and didn't use brown sugar. I love the taste of the burnt butter for the frosting. It has that distinct taste that makes you eat more even if you're already full. ( I know, I know it's gluttony ). Try making it and you'll know what I'm sayin'!
Let's have a slice.
See you next post!
