For the Cake: • 2½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour • 2½ tsp baking powder • ½ tsp salt • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened • 1½ cups (300g) sugar • 4 large eggs • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 cup (240ml) milk • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar (for caramel flavor)
For the Caramel Frosting: • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream or evaporated milk • ½ cup (115g) butter • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
For the Cake: • Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper. • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. • In another bowl, cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. • Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the batter, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until smooth. • Divide batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops. • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. • Let cakes cool completely on a rack.
For the Caramel Frosting: • In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and cream. • Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to bubble. • Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and let cool slightly. • Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable. • Frost the first cake layer, place the second on top, and cover the top and sides with caramel frosting. #tastytreats #keepitsimplerecipes #trendingpost #eidsweet #eidprep #halal_and_easy_cuisine #halalrecipes #halaal #southafricanfoodies #southafricanblogger #foodie #foodofsa #viralpost#yummy #delicious #allrecipes #quickandeasy #instabake #instagram #blogger #explore #recipe #sharing #save #followerforfollower #foodstyling #dubaibakes #eidza
