Yummy and unique, but a few things you might want to know: the caramel frosting needs to be watched during the 20 minutes of boiling, or you will have a boilover mess. After taking it off the heat, I poured it in a bowl, which I set in a larger bowl of ice, then beat with my hand mixer - took about 20 minutes to cool off and thicken and turn into frosting. Worth the effort though! As far as the cake, I used a 9 x 13 pan and baked about 35 minutes at 325. Next time I will add extra cocoa powder and use half white sugar and half brown sugar. Overall very good!!
