Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Cake Flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 3 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Caramel Sauce
• 1 cup Whipped Cream
• 0.5 cup Caramel Sauce (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake is cooled, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or fork. Pour the caramel sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
8. Spread whipped cream over the top of the cake and drizzle with additional caramel sauce.
9. Serve and enjoy!
