Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the Caramel Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Cake:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. Preparing the Caramel Frosting:

    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and cream, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
    • Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

  3. Assembling the Caramel Cake:

    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of caramel frosting over the top.
    • Place the second cake layer on top and spread another layer of frosting. Repeat with the third cake layer.
    • Spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

  4. Chilling the Cake:

    • Refrigerate the caramel cake for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.

Serving the Caramel Cake:

  • Serve the caramel cake chilled, sliced into wedges.
