Description
Caramel Cloud Cake is a delightful dessert that combines fluffy cake layers with rich caramel and whipped cream, creating a heavenly treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- 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 before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with more whipped cream and caramel sauce.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter.
- You can also substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate ganache for a different twist.
