1 1/2 TSP BAKING POWDER
1/4 TSP SALT

ADD THE VANILLA & MILK. BEAT ON MED/HIGH.

POUR INTO THE PREPARED PAN & BAKE FOR 30-35 MINUTES.
​COOL CAKE FOR 5-10 MINUTES.

To fill & decorate:
I used our vanilla frosting and smuckers caramel syrup in the squeeze bottle for easy drip. I usually would use our caramel Sauce but wanted to show you how good it looked and tasted no matter what caramel sauce you use.
