- Once everything is well-combined if there are bubbles in the batter, gently tap the pan on the counter a few times.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven to cool before frosting and serving.
Make the frosting:
- Place the contents of the canned cream cheese frosting in a small bowl.
- Add ¼ cup of caramel sauce to the frosting and stir until well-combined.
- Frost the cooled cake and then drizzle extra caramel.
Notes
This frosting is on the sweet side so keep that in mind. You can add caramel a tablespoon at a time and taste as you go to get the desired sweetness if you don’t like extra sweet. Or just use plain cream cheese icing.
