Ingredients list and the measurements --are they inclusive of the frosting or exclusive of the frosting?

First, I hope you love this cake as much I do! The frosting is magical! Don't fear the strange consistency it has at first - tt does come together beautifully! The frosting ingredients are listed separately in the instructions at the end of the recipe: Step 3 "Make Caramel Icing". The ingredients list is for just the cake (and what a cake!).
