Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the dark chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
10. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
11. Stir in the sea salt flakes.
12. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of salted caramel sauce on top.
13. Place the second cake layer on top and pour the dark chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
14. Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the ganache to set.
15. Slice and enjoy!
