Delicious Caramel Cake Recipes

Caramel cakes are delicious and simply a delightful idea whether for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply for a mere source of sweet indulgence. However, there has to be some trick to make it perfect, don't you think so? Well, here is a guide for you! Read on to learn the best homemade caramel cake all by yourself. Shall we go on then?

What are some of the essential ingredients that you will need to make the caramel cake?

1. Flour- All-purpose flour is what you need to prepare the dish!

2. Baking powder- You need some baking powder to give density and thickness to the cake! Make sure the pack hasn't crossed its expiry date.

3. Butter- We recommend you use unsalted butter because this way you can monitor the amount of salt that goes inside the recipe. Make sure that the butter is soft so you find it easy to grind them into a fine paste! Bring it to room temperature before you mix it with the rest of the ingredients! It is always very tough for you to beat hard and cold butter!

4. Sugar- You will need granulated and brown sugar for a basic caramel cake recipe! The granulated sugar gives a wonderful essence and crumbly texture while the brown sugar helps you to make the rich caramel sauce.

5. Eggs- They are needed to give consistency and texture to the cakes. Eggs are also ideal for the richness of flavor along with a thickening to the same.

6. Milk- When you are buying milk, whole milk is the best for this recipe! Whole milk is what you shall need to ensure that the caramel cake tastes better.

7. Powdered sugar- Do not forget to buy powdered sugar! They are sometimes called the 10X or confectioner's sugar which makes the caramel sauce smooth to drizzle over the cake. In case you cannot find powdered sugar, you can make them at home as well.

Simple steps to make the caramel cake-

• First, beat the butter in a bowl with a standard mixer, and then add the sugar to create a fluffy essence. Add eggs and vanilla to the bowl which goes next. The flour, baking powder, and salt come after that.
• Half a cup of whole milk is added to the mixer. Now more flour is added and mixed well into a smooth dough.
• Divide the flour content into separate pans and then bake for about thirty to thirty-five minutes! Once baked you can cool it down for twenty minutes before you serve it fresh.
• Combine brown sugar, butter, milk, and cream in a medium saucepan and heat on a medium flame. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir for about ten minutes. When the mixture reaches at 235°F after five to ten minutes, the caramel sauce is ready. Cool for twenty minutes so that the mixture now thickens up.
• Beat the dough mixture on a medium flame for ten minutes. Spread the caramel sauce on the cake and dig in.

Follow these recipes for easy baking-

• If you want the caramel to acquire a dark color then add some darker brown sugar.
• When you are boiling the caramel sauce, the froth may bubble up quite a bit high so ensure that the pan you are using is deep enough.
• If you observe that even after adding confectioner's sugar, the caramel sauce is still runny then probably you haven't added enough or the temperature wasn't optimal! Do not worry if such a situation occurs, simply add more and more confectioner's sugar until the required consistency is reached.
• When you are applying frosting to the cake one thing must be kept in mind you are not working with thick icing and it is likely to drip! Use a knife to continuously smoother the surface.
• If the icing is too tough then dip the spatula in hot water and continue working on the layering. You can place the cake in the refrigerator for about ten minutes to ensure proper thickening.
• While adding flour you should make use of a scale to measure the amount of flour you are adding! It is essential for you to be precise about the quantity of flour or else the cake will turn out to be stiff.
• Never overmix the batter as it will lead to toughening of the cake again.
• Allow the layers of the cake to cool down one at a time.  They are easier to decorate and assemble when cool and the caramel sauce will not run off.
• You should be careful while making the caramel sauce because there is a risk if you look away it might get burnt.
