  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry, then stir in boiling water. Batter will be thin.

  6. For buttercream, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
  7. For ganache, heat heavy cream to simmer. Pour over chocolate, let sit, then stir smooth. Cool slightly.

  9. Drizzle ganache over cake and let it drip. Pipe extra frosting if desired.
