Cake with Caramel Filling

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk

Caramel Filling:
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. While the cake is baking, prepare the caramel filling. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then stop stirring and let it boil until it turns a deep amber color.

6. Remove the caramel from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream, butter, and sea salt. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up. Stir until smooth and well combined.

7. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before using it as the filling for the cake. Once the cake has cooled, use a sharp knife to slice it horizontally into two layers.

8. Spread the caramel filling evenly over the bottom layer of the cake. Place the second layer on top and press gently to secure. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cake for an extra touch of decadence.

9. Serve the Cake with Caramel Filling at room temperature, allowing the caramel to ooze out invitingly with each slice. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.

Whether you’re baking this cake for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself, the combination of moist cake and gooey caramel filling is sure to delight your taste buds. Give this recipe a try and watch as your guests’ faces light up with joy at the first bite.
