Caramel Cake
Sep 07, 2024 09:35 AM
This delicious Caramel Cake is filled with caramel sauce, and topped with a Salted Caramel Frosting and swirls of more caramel sauce. The cake is moist and fluffy, with the rich taste of gooey caramel in every bite.
What I love about this cake is that this is sort of a caramel poke cake. Because that’s how we fill the cake with caramel: by poking holes in the fluffy vanilla cake, and filling with a decadent caramel sauce.
For the caramel sauce, you can go the homemade route, as I do, or use store-bought caramel sauce. And of course, dulce de leche would be marvelous in this cake as well.
