"While these tender cake layers taste divine, it’s the caramel frosting that really wows. It’s outrageously rich— and doesn’t require the use of a candy thermometer. Top the frosted cake with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a fancy finish. Your guests will love this cake during the holidays, but you might get requests for it year-round...."
