Marie's Caramel Cake

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
3 cups self-rising flour
2 sticks butter
1 cup milk
Cream butter and sugar; add eggs 1 at a time.
Alternate flour and milk; beat thoroughly; will
make 4 layers [bake at 350 degrees (greased,
floured pans) for about 30 minutes, until cake
springs back when pressed lightly]

Filling
3 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk [12oz]
1 stick butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Cook sugar and cream [evaporated milk] together,
stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball
stage, around 235 to 240° (10 to 15 minutes); take
off heat. Add butter and beat until thickened and
creamy. Spread on layers (wetting the knife makes
spreading easier) and sprinkle with nuts on each
layer. makes a very moist cake.
