- Once the cake batter is well mixed, pour it into the greased square tin, spreading it evenly. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
- Once the baking process is complete, remove the cake from the oven and permit it to cool off in its baking pan for around 10 minutes. Open the box of salted caramel frosting give it a good stir to ensure it is smooth and spreadable.20 ounces box of salted caramel frosting
- Using a spatula or butter knife, spread the salted caramel frosting evenly over the top of the cake. You can also add a second layer of frosting if desired. Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice the cake into squares or desired shapes and serve. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake!
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter: Just mix until the wet and dry ingredients are combined; overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick: Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, your cake is ready to come out of the oven.
- Cool completely before frosting: This helps the frosting spread evenly without melting.
- Decoration ideas: Customize your cake by adding a sprinkle of sea salt, grated dark chocolate, salted caramel sauce, or chopped nuts on top of the frosting for an extra pop of flavor. Crushed cookies can also make a delicious crumb coating!
- Make ahead: You can bake the cake a day in advance. Just keep it in the cake tin covered with foil or plastic wrap at room temperature. Frost it before serving to keep it super fresh.
- Is there a substitute for the boxed cake mix? Yes, you can use any basic chocolate cake recipe or your favorite from-scratch recipe if you prefer to avoid boxed mixes.
Storage Instructions
- Keep it covered: Use an airtight container or wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap.
- Room temperature: If you're eating the cake within a couple of days, just keep it at room temperature. This helps maintain the cake's moisture and flavor.
- Refrigerate: If you won’t finish it right away, pop it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for up to a week.
- Freeze: You can freeze slices of the cake for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to eat.
