Ingredients
For the sponge cake layers:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate buttercream:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the caramel topping:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale and fluffy. This might take about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate buttercream. In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel topping. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it simmer without stirring until it turns a golden amber color. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it into several rectangular layers of equal thickness.
- Spread a generous amount of chocolate buttercream between each layer, stacking them on top of each other.
- Pour the caramel topping over the assembled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to cool and harden before serving.
