Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups heavy cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
• ½ cup chocolate frosting
• ¼ cup chocolate sprinkles

How to Make Layered Cake with Cream and Caramel

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top.
10. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with more whipped cream. Add the final cake layer on top.
11. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
12. Using a piping bag, add dollops of chocolate frosting around the top edge of the cake, then sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles for decoration.
13. Slice and serve your beautiful layered cake, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
• Chill the whipped cream for a few minutes before whipping for better volume.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Easy Variations

• Substitute vanilla extract with almond extract for a different flavor.
• Use chocolate cake mix instead of vanilla for a richer taste.
• Add fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas between the layers for added flavor and texture.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce in addition to caramel for a double chocolate treat.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Coffee or espresso for a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
• Fresh berries to add a refreshing touch.
• Whipped cream on the side for extra indulgence.
