TWD - Double-Decker Salted Caramel Cake


This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Double-Decker Salted Caramel Cake. Dorie describes this as caramel upon caramel, and she’s right - a caramel cake is filled and frosted with caramel icing. However, as she rightly says, the slight bitterness of the caramel means that the cake is not too sweet.
 

The cake is cut in half and filled with icing to make it double decker. The icing is made with icing sugar and homemade caramel sauce. For some contrast, I topped my cake with white chocolate bits.


This is a moist, light cake with yummy caramelised edges, and the gooey caramel frosting adds that bit extra. I liked this cake, but wouldn’t go so far as saying I loved it. It’s one for the caramel lovers.

To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

Looks delicious. I love caramel but in small doses and preferably with chocolate - just a thin slice of this cake for me

"One for the caramel lovers..." so true...I am standing with my hand up as that would definitely be me. We thought it was very sweet so we cut. smaller pieces, but enjoyed every single bite of all that sweetness. Yours looks beautiful. I fully expected this week to see all the posts with chocolate incorporated somehow, so I was surprised that you used white chocolate, I love the look of that. So fun to have this as my birthday cake this year.
