Creating Caramel Cloud Cake is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.
6. Add Vanilla and Caramel: Stir in the vanilla extract and ½ cup of the caramel sauce until just combined.
7. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cakes: Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 15 minutes. Then, gently transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Assemble the Cake: Once cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce, then add the second layer on top.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For the final touch, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a Caramel Cloud Cake that’s not only delicious but also visually stunning.
