Caramel Salted Crunch Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Bake the Vanilla Cake

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cream Butter and Sugar

   In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.

6. 6

   Bake the Cake

   Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.

7. 7

   Assemble the Cake

   Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with caramel sauce, then spread a layer of chantilly cream on top. Place the second cake layer on top.

8. 8

   Top with Caramel and Garnish

   Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top layer. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and toasted nuts if desired.
