This cake was actually really easy to make. There are quite a few ingredients in it, but it’s worth it. Instead of using regular caramels, I used chocolate caramels I had from a Valentine’s Day present (thanks Mom). It was still pretty delicious, especially with whipped cream on top. The cake was spongy and tasted good, but it wasn’t perfect enough to be a 10. I highly recommend using a cooking spray (or even brushing butter on the inside) because the cake didn’t stick at all and it was easy to clean. This is a great dessert to make if you want something that isn’t chocolatey, but still want an after dinner treat.
