Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Layer with Caramel: Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Swirl the remaining caramel sauce into the top layer of batter with a knife.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices with extra caramel sauce if desired.
