  • 40 g butter
  • 150 g heavy cream
  • big pinch of salt
  • 340 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salted caramel by heating sugar and water until dissolved, then boiling until amber. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, heavy cream, and salt. Cool before use.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, oil, and vanilla.
  3. Gradually combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Divide batter between greased cake pans and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. For frosting, beat room temperature butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, finishing with vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Assemble by layering cake with salted caramel in between and frosting the top and sides.
