This yummy Caramel Cake is loaded with caramel sauce and topped with a Salted Caramel Frosting, with extra caramel swirls. The cake is moist, fluffy, and packed with rich caramel flavor in every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this cake special is how we fill it with caramel. We poke holes in a fluffy vanilla cake and pour in a decadent caramel sauce, making it a kind of caramel poke cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the caramel sauce, you can either make it from scratch or use store-bought. Dulce de leche works great too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4>**Cake Batter:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-1\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Line an 8\u201d or 9\u201d springform pan with parchment paper and spray it with oil. If using an 8\u2033 pan, make sure it\u2019s deep. You can also use a regular 9\u2033 cake pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter at medium speed for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Add granulated and brown sugar, and beat for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl occasionally.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated. Add vanilla and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Add sour cream and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Add half the dry ingredients and mix on low.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Pour in the buttermilk and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix on low. Avoid over-mixing to prevent dryness.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Spread the batter in the prepared pan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Baking:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. If the top browns too quickly and the center isn\u2019t done, cover with foil.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Check doneness by touching the top; it should not feel soft or jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Let the cake cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Caramel Sauce:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Prepare according to the recipe instructions. Let it cool completely. Make ahead if needed and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds until pourable. It should be room temperature when used to fill the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**To Assemble:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-16\">When the cake has cooled, poke holes using a dowel, chopstick, or handle of a wooden spoon.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-17\">Place 1\/2 cup of caramel sauce in a piping bag and fill the holes. After a few minutes, the cake will absorb some caramel, so fill again if needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-18\">Refrigerate the cake while making the frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-19\">Beat butter with a mixer for 30 seconds. Add cream cheese and beat for another 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-20\">Add powdered sugar and caramel sauce, mixing on low to combine. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until well incorporated. Scrape the bowl and mix again.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-21\">If too stiff, add a teaspoon of milk. If too runny, add powdered sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**To Decorate:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-22\">Spread frosting on top of the cake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-23\">Drizzle about 1\/4 cup of caramel on the frosting, swirling with a spatula to create waves.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-24\">Sprinkle with sea salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-25\">Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving for a gooey texture.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-26\">Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving to soften.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>**Storage:**<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Store in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, in an airtight container.<\/li>\n<li>Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months.<\/li>\n<li>Thaw in the fridge or on the counter.

id=\"instruction-step-2\">Line an 8\u201d or 9\u201d springform pan with parchment paper and spray it with oil. If using an 8\u2033 pan, make sure it\u2019s deep. You can also use a regular 9\u2033 cake pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter at medium speed for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Add granulated and brown sugar, and beat for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl occasionally.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated. Add vanilla and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Add sour cream and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Add half the dry ingredients and mix on low.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Pour in the buttermilk and mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix on low. Avoid over-mixing to prevent dryness.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Spread the batter in the prepared pan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Baking:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. If the top browns too quickly and the center isn\u2019t done, cover with foil.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Check doneness by touching the top; it should not feel soft or jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Let the cake cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Caramel Sauce:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Prepare according to the recipe instructions. Let it cool completely. Make ahead if needed and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds until pourable. It should be room temperature when used to fill the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**To Assemble:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-16\">When the cake has cooled, poke holes using a dowel, chopstick, or handle of a wooden spoon.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-17\">Place 1\/2 cup of caramel sauce in a piping bag and fill the holes. After a few minutes, the cake will absorb some caramel, so fill again if needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-18\">Refrigerate the cake while making the frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-19\">Beat butter with a mixer for 30 seconds. Add cream cheese and beat for another 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-20\">Add powdered sugar and caramel sauce, mixing on low to combine. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until well incorporated. Scrape the bowl and mix again.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-21\">If too stiff, add a teaspoon of milk. If too runny, add powdered sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**To Decorate:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-22\">Spread frosting on top of the cake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-23\">Drizzle about 1\/4 cup of caramel on the frosting, swirling with a spatula to create waves.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-24\">Sprinkle with sea salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-25\">Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving for a gooey texture.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-26\">Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving to soften.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>**Storage:**<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Store in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, in an airtight container.<\/li>\n<li>Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months.<\/li>\n<li>Thaw in the fridge or on the counter.
