Method
 

Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect all your ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and caramel sauce. Don’t forget the crunchy toppings like crushed cookies or nuts!
Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly and comes out perfectly fluffy.
Prepare the Cake Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix; we want a tender cake!
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Prepare the Caramel Sauce
  1. While the cake cools, warm up your caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until it’s smooth and pourable.
Assemble the Cake
  1. Once the cake is completely cool, slice it in half horizontally. Drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce between the layers and on top of the cake.
Add Crunchy Toppings
  1. Sprinkle crushed cookies or nuts over the caramel layer for that delightful crunch. Feel free to get creative with your toppings!
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Slice your Decadent Caramel Crunch Cake and serve it to your friends and family. Watch their faces light up with joy as they indulge in this sweet treat!
