Print Recipe

A decadent chocolate cake layered with rich salted caramel filling and topped with a glossy chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • Flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
  4. Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. To make ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate; let stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  6. To assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread with salted caramel sauce. Top with second cake layer. Pour ganache over top, letting it drip down sides. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  7. Let cake set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate. The cake can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature.
