Love that Paula Dean "Carmel cake"

Ok everyone knows that I am not into baking cooking love it enjoy it, but baking not my style. I either grab the frozen dough on the shelf at the grocery store or pick something up at a bakery. Since Tyler and I do not eat stuff like that I have never felt inclined to make sweets of any kind. I don't know if it's the change in the season or what but Lately I have been on a baking frenzy. Today was my first creation, well not my receipt but the famous Paula Dean. It was Carmel Cake. Let me just say that she does not hold back 4 cups of butter was used between the cake batter, filling, and frosting. Now I know why she uses so much. It was so yummy. Because Tyler and I don't eat refined sweets we couldn't eat more than two bites. I had so much fun making it. I had to make cake batter, can you believe it. that was a first. A little side not did you know that there is such thing as self rising flour? I had no idea what it was but I also had to make that. It was a very involved cake. Like I said I had tons of fun. In fact I am very proud that I made something like that, I know I sound proud. I am not sure if this cooking frenzy will be short lived so if there are any request, make them quick.
