Cook Time40 Minutes
Ingredients
219g plain flour
350g sugar
65g cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
120ml vegetable oil
2 eggs
180ml buttermilk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
120ml espresso
2 jars Signature Tastes salted caramel sauce
200g dark chocolate
200g milk chocolate
75g butter
100ml cream
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 165°C. Weigh out all of the dry ingredients, and set aside.
  2. Add the eggs, buttermilk, espresso, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between two greased cake tins. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  5. For the ganache, set up a double boiler. Break the dark and milk chocolate into pieces and add the butter. Once melted, let it cool to room temperature. Lightly whip the cream, then fold it into the chocolate mixture.
  6. To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache on top, then drizzle with one jar of salted caramel. Place the second layer on top and repeat with ganache and more salted caramel.
  7. Finish by drizzling the top with ganache and decorating with extra salted caramel. For a festive touch, garnish with figs, Christmas berries, and chocolate curls.
