Caramel Spice Cake with Penuche Icing

This Caramel Spice cake is delicious. I found a caramel cake recipe online a while back, and this recipe is my end result of messing around with it a bit- the spice part definitely gives it the punch that it needs! And as Penuche Icing is caramel-flavored, I figured it would be the perfect match for this cake, and it turned out perfect. On to the pictures and recipe!
