How to Make Triple Caramel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the caramel fillings (see separate instructions below for each caramel type).
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  10. Spread a generous layer of one caramel filling over the cake layer.
  11. Top with the second cake layer and spread with a layer of the second caramel filling.
  12. Add the final cake layer and frost the entire cake with the third caramel filling.
  13. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
