Salted Caramel Latte Cake

If you like coffee and salted caramel, you'll love this cake. The cake itself is a fluffy vanilla-coffee flavored cake that we literally pour freshly brewed coffee into. It's pretty stinking good. Then we'll layer it with homemade salted caramel sauce and Buttercream that we've whipped our salted caramel into. Elaborate? maybe. Worth it? very.
