Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Mix in the salted caramel sauce until smooth for the frosting.
  9. Place one layer on a serving plate, spread some salted caramel sauce over the top, then add the second layer.
  10. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the caramel buttercream frosting and drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easy creaming. Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
