Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just blended.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the caramel frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Let the frosting cool for 5-10 minutes, then frost the cooled cake layers, stacking them on top of each other.

Allow the cake to rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
