Caramel Cake Recipe

Ingredients
For the Cake
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)

For the Caramel Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract. If the frosting becomes too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of caramel frosting evenly over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting.
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining caramel frosting.
