Ingredients

This delicious thin layer caramel cake is composed of a few simple ingredients:

1 ½ cups (187 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (118 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
½ cup (116 grams) caramel sauce
1 cup (115 grams) chopped walnuts

Instructions

To make this delicious thin layer caramel cake, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper as well.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat until just combined. Do not over mix.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before releasing it from the pan. Place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cake is cool, spread the caramel sauce on top. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts. Slice and serve.
