Ingredients
For the chocolate cake:
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (not packed!)
1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 large eggs + 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups full-fat sour cream
1/3 cup whole milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil (you may also sub in melted coconut oil)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups hot water
For the salted caramel chocolate frosting:
2 cups unsalted butter (4 sticks, 16 ounces), VERY soft
4 and 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons heavy cream (more if needed)
2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
Garnish:
1 and 1/4 cups salted caramel sauce
Flaky sea salt
Instructions
For the chocolate cake:
Preheat oven to 350°(F). Cut out three 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick cooking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine both sugars, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix on low until dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. Use your hands to break up any large clumps, if needed.
