Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake – Great British Chefs
This cake almost needs no introduction. I called it the ‘Big Daddy’ Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake because we made it for Father’s Day. Four layers of chocolate cake with salted caramel buttercream and a chocolate fudge topping. The tallest cake I’ve ever made. Half a jar of Bonne Maman ‘Confiture de Caramel’ left to eat and a cake to feed the whole family. I know at least one ‘daddy’ who will be very happy this Sunday…will you have some time to make this, too?
Find my recipe for the Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake and the full post over on Great British Chefs here.

Oh my God…… This cake is spectacular! I’ll try to play this beauty in my kitchen for my family. It will be difficult in this photo quality. : (
