Salted Caramel Butter Cake

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly with butter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are well combined and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them.
• Pour in the vanilla extract and mix it in, ensuring that the flavor is evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Once the batter is smooth, pour it into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cooled cake, spreading it to cover the entire surface evenly.
• Sprinkle the sea salt over the caramel sauce to taste, ensuring an even distribution for the perfect salty-sweet flavor.
