Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup caramel sauce (for frosting)
1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
Optional: Sea salt for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk.
Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the caramel frosting by combining heavy cream and caramel sauce over medium heat, stirring until blended.
Spread the caramel frosting generously between the cake layers and on the top and sides.
