Top the cake with any of your favourite chocolate-caramel inspired treats like Twix, Mars bars or Caramello chocolate.
If your oven isn’t big enough or you don’t have enough cake tins to bake the cake layers at the same time, you can bake in batches.
If you have made the caramel sauce ahead of time and stored it in the fridge, you may need to microwave it for a short time to loosen it up again.
The cake can be made into 3 layers as per the recipe card below, or you can bake it into 2 cakes or a single cake. You will need to adjust the cooking time to suit.
The finished, decorated cake should be kept in the fridge for around 5 days. The cake should be brought back to room temperature before eating. To do this, leave it out (covered) at room temperature for half an hour before serving.
Freezing; If making ahead of time, the undecorated cake layers can be baked, cooled and wrapped before freezing for up to 3 months. Wrap them well with clingfilm to protect them from freezer-burn. The layers can be thawed in the fridge overnight or at room temperature before decorating, or they can be
decorated while frozen (this makes them a little easier to frost!). The caramel sauce and frosting can also be wrapped, stored in containers and frozen for up to three months. Individual, decorated slices can also be wrapped and frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating.
Please note that the nutrition information is based on the cake being fully decorated with caramel sauce and frosting and being cut into 12 slices, with one
slice being one serve. The nutritional information is an estimate only and does not take into account any additional toppings or sides served with the cake.
This recipe is made using Australian cups and spoon measurements. Due to cup sizes varying from country to country, I advise adjusting if necessary.
