Caramel Porter Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting

A while ago Thom came home with Saranac Caramel Porter beer, a limited release for the holidays. I tasted it - yummy. I don't normally drink much, but I asked him to save me one to cook with. I wasn't sure what I would make (and assumed something with beef) but in the end there was a birthday and I made a cake instead.

I loosely based my cake on

This is the cake we had last week, right? Man oh man was that good. I need more salted caramel in my life.

Yup - this is the one. Crate & Barrel sells good sea salt caramels as do specialty shops. I tried making my own caramels last year and they were too hard, but I think I will try again.
