Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

I made this cake for my mom’s birthday over the weekend and it turned out AMAZING! Rich and moist but not dense. I will definitely be making it again.

It was amazing. Best chocolate cake I have come across and the frosting was gorgeous. Everyone loved it. 

Three layers of Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake slathered in homemade Salted Caramel Chocolate Frosting. So decadent!
