Ingredients​

For the Cake​

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

For the Caramel Frosting​

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions​

For the Cake​

1. Preparation:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients and Milk:
   • Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Bake the Cakes:
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. 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.

For the Caramel Frosting​

1. Make the Caramel Base:
   • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes.
2. Add Milk:
   • Carefully add the milk (the mixture will bubble up), stirring continuously. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Mix in Powdered Sugar:
   • Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Frost the Cake:
   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of caramel frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion, this cake is sure to impress with its deep caramel flavor and beautiful presentation. Enjoy a slice with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a truly satisfying treat.
