Salted Caramel Butter Cake

1.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly with butter.

2.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are well combined and set aside.

3.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4.

Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them.

5.

Pour in the vanilla extract and mix it in, ensuring that the flavor is evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

6.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

7.

Once the batter is smooth, pour it into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or spoon.

8.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10.

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cooled cake, spreading it to cover the entire surface evenly.

11.

Sprinkle the sea salt over the caramel sauce to taste, ensuring an even distribution for the perfect salty-sweet flavor.
