Im rating this recipe to encourage more people to try this. This is the same cake my mom has made since I was a kid and it's delicious. We have always shared it with people by letting them sample it before telling them it's sausage cake because most people wouldn't believe it actually has sausage in it after tasting it. This is a dense cake but in my opinion, much better than any fruit cake or spice cake Ive ever tried so I hate it when people compare it to those types of cakes. The absolute best way to serve this cake is by slicing it into sections and freezing it. Before serving, take out a section from the freezer and let it ALMOST thaw completely, eat it cold with a good cup of coffee mmmmmmmm the caramel frosting is mouth watering! I hope more people try it, it's definitely a rich comfort food.
