I suggest you go out and buy the book and ingredients, make the cake, cut a generous slice and sit down to read. In that order. You won't regret it!

Minny's Caramel Cake
I read the bestselling novel "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett just recently, and even though it was only referred to a couple of times, I had to make Minny's caramel cake. Having enjoyed the book so much, when I finished it, this was a way to keep it going a little longer!
I found the recipe that Kathryn Stockett based her cake on here. My frosting came out like more of a sauce and I'm pretty sure that was due to some US-UK translation issues, but it still tasted delicious. That and the frosting method was new to me, so maybe my technique was just wrong! The sponge itself had a different texture to what I am accustomed, probably due to the buttermilk. It was soft and light, but dense and comforting all at once- I really don't know to explain it.
I suggest you go out and buy the book and ingredients, make the cake, cut a generous slice and sit down to read. In that order. You won't regret it!
