Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

- Layer the cooled cakes with caramel sauce, chocolate ganache, and whipped cream frosting.
- Decorate as desired and serve.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
