Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. For the caramel glaze, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar and butter together, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
10. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, then bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring over the cooled cake layers.
12. Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, topping with caramel glaze, then placing the second layer on top and covering with remaining glaze.
Storage
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Reheating
If desired, reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm the caramel slightly before serving.
