Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with cake flour for a lighter texture.
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened Always soften butter for better mixing.
  • 1 cup milk Almond milk can be used as an alternative.
  • 3 pcs eggs Essential for binding ingredients.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it's fresh for the cake to rise.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use real vanilla for better flavor.

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 cup crushed caramel candies Adds texture and crunch.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the frosting.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just combined.

Baking

  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning onto wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting and Assembly

  • Mix powdered sugar with caramel sauce until smooth.
  • Once cooled, slice the top off one layer to level it. Frost the top of that layer and sprinkle with some crushed caramel candies.
  • Gently place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining caramel frosting. Finish with more crushed candies on top.

Notes

Make sure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Adjust baking time if using different size pans.
