Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Boiling Water

    Slowly stir in boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Caramel Filling

  1. 6

    Make Caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes amber-colored. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.

  2. 7

    Add Cream

    Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and salt until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Layer Cake

    Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Poke holes in the cake and pour half of the caramel filling over it.

  2. 9

    Add Second Layer

    Place the second layer on top and pour the remaining caramel filling over the top.

  3. 10

    Add Toppings

    Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and chopped pecans.
