Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa (cocoa powder)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup shortening (fat)
  • 1 cup whole milk (divided in half)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the caramel frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Recipe:

1. Prepare the Cake:

  • First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. These dry ingredients will form the base of your cake.
  • Add the shortening to the dry mix along with 1/2 cup of milk, and beat well until everything is combined.
  • Now, add the remaining milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix again.
  • Continue whisking until you get a smooth and thick batter.

2. Bake the Cake:

  • Pour the prepared batter into a greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • To check if the cake is baked, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready.
  • Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool completely.

3. Prepare the Caramel Frosting:

  • In a small pan, melt the butter, then add brown sugar and salt. Cook this mixture over low heat for 2 minutes, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Add the milk and bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Once cooled, gradually mix in the powdered sugar, whisking until you have a smooth frosting.

4. Apply Frosting to the Cake:

  • Take the cooled cake and spread the caramel frosting evenly over it.

5. Serve:

  • Your Chocolate Caramel Cake Delight is now ready! Slice and enjoy with your family and friends. 😋

Tips:

  • To make the cake even more special, you can top it with chocolate chips or drizzle with caramel sauce.
  • If you prefer a milder caramel flavor, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar in the frosting.

This Chocolate Caramel Cake Delight is the perfect dessert to sweeten up any special occasion. Try making it at home and enjoy its delicious taste with your loved ones!
