Salted Caramel Marble Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.

   Tip: Use a digital scale for accurate measurements.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. 4

   With the mixer still running, gradually add the flour mixture, then the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Divide the batter evenly among three bowls.

6. 6

   Add a few drops of caramel sauce to each bowl and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Use a spatula to distribute the caramel evenly.

7. 7

   Pour each batter into a prepared cake pan and smooth the tops.

   Tip: Use a rubber spatula for even distribution.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Check the cakes frequently to avoid overcooking.

9. 9

   Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let the cakes cool completely before assembling the cake.

10. 10

    For the glaze, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

    Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

11. 11

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with another cake layer.

    Tip: Use a piping bag or a spatula to create a marbled effect.

12. 12

    Repeat the process with the remaining two cake layers.

    Tip: Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with the final cake layer.

13. 13

    Glaze the top of the cake with the melted chocolate glaze.

    Tip: Use a spatula to spread the glaze evenly.

14. 14

    Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and confectioners' sugar.

    Tip: Use a fine-mesh sieve to sprinkle the toppings evenly.
