Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
- Make the cake batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Bake: Pour batter into cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the frosting: In a saucepan, melt butter and caramel sauce over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Assemble the cake: Once cakes are cooled, spread frosting between layers and on top. Drizzle extra caramel sauce for garnish.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar for the cake and frosting.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
