SALTED CARAMEL LAYER CAKE
The recipe for this caramel sauce makes A LOT of caramel. More than you actually need for this cake, probably by half. The reason why I left this amount in the recipe was because that’s how I made it the first time I baked this cake. If you don’t want leftover caramel sauce (but let’s be real here, who doesn’t want leftover caramel sauce) you could half the recipe and still have enough.
Because the caramel frosting is made with cream cheese, it is VERY SOFT. If you live in a hot place, consider keeping this cake cool until serving. Also, the softness of the frosting could make it difficult to apply onto the cake layers. To ensure it’s creamy, but not runny start by adding less a tablespoon at a time until you get a smooth consistency that’s not too soft. Happy baking, my sweet friends!
