Easy Caramel Cake

Caramel Cake is one of my absolute favorite desserts! Well really I just love anything caramel.  I made this for a friend's birthday a few weeks ago and it was completely gone by the end of the night.

Cake
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
2 eggs
2 cup flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

Icing:
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 baking dish.  In your mixture cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and allow them to be fully mixed in. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in half of the dry ingredients with the butter mixture. Then mix in half of the milk then the remaining dry ingredients and the last of the milk as well as the vanilla extract. Pour into the pan and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Cool the cake before icing it.

In a small pot combine the brown sugar, salt, butter and milk. Heat over medium low heat stirring frequently until the mixture begins to boil. Let boil, while stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the powdered sugar then pour evenly over the top of the cake.
