- This moist, fluffy caramel cake has layers of vanilla yellow cake covered in homemade salted caramel and creamy caramel-infused Swiss meringue buttercream; it will set your heart aflutter! It’s one of the most delicious things I’ve made and I love the simple decoration scheme of stripes, a caramel drip.

Not gonna lie, I think I'm just gonna make the caramel and call it a day.
Sounds like a plan to me!!
That's what I was thinking lol. Hand me a spoon!
@@colleenmayes9248 I love CARAMEL LOL
Ashley T I was thinking the same thing😂
Homemade caramel is soooooo good and, heck, you will feel so accomplished when you are done!😁
“Add a few tablespoons at a time until you’re happy. Not as a person, but with the color of the caramel”
I died laughing 😂
Claudia treviño Same. He has the funniest lines. 😂
Oh my gosh. I totally cracked up when he said that. John's SOOO funny. I love his videos.
He's funny.. And not in an annoying way🤣
OMG SAAAAAME hahahahahahahahahhahwahhaha
Thank you
My grandmother taught me a trick that NEVER fails to make perfect caramel everytime. Stir your sugar water until all the sugar crystals melt. Then place your lid on. The condensation will wash the sides of the pan down. Then remove lid (before it turns brown) & add your candy thermometer (if needed). Never ever fails, been making it like that for 20+ years. Excellent video, I need to try this cake! All of your recipes I've tried are phenomenal! ❤
What a great tip! Thank you so much!
i just tried it works amazingly! thx!
but if the lid is on, there will be a lot of steam on the lid. so, how can you tell when its turning brown if you can't see?
@@melaniegriffiths3473 you don't leave the lid on. After you see the condensation build on the lid & slide down the pot, leave it maybe a minute, then remove.👍
@Cookie Nibs, how much sugar and water do you use?
"Add a few tablespoons at a time until you're happy. Not as a person, but with the color of the caramel" 😝 that disclaimer was 100% necessary
My new mantra: "add a few tablespoons until you're happy... not as a person, but with the color of the caramel."
if he didn't say "with the color of caramel" i'd be adding it for 3 hours and running out of caramel so just adding whatever i can
Ikr
lol
I adore how natural and relatable you are😍
you're too sweet Michaella!
Right!!!
I know! he reminds me so much of my adored nephew!! the giggles and everything! I love this guy!
ikr hi a year later 😇
Hey John 🖐 Life is so fast-paced these days, for all of us. Sometimes it's the inbewtween moments we forget to enjoy. Hope you and your family are in for a good weekend ahead. And please remember to be kind to yourself.
Welp..not so fast paced now. we been having all the free time u can ask for being on this quarantine. Might just make this cake now lol
I really love how real you keep your content. Not pretending to be perfect and just embracing every moment! Such a positive vibe and I'm loving it
I just made it, and for those of you first timers (like me) here's some tips:
-leave the cake somewhere to completely cool down before you start adding anything otherwise everything will melt and you'll a have a soup.
-keep everything in the fridge until your cake is cooled down, otherwise your cream will get squashed in between the layers.
Is the cake good tho?
This will be my first making a cake from scratch. I’m guessing that you also need to leave your cake in the fridge when is all done?
@@m.cardenas3315 hello, late response but yes creamcheese or butter cream frosting needs to be in the fridge,at room temp it will melt
Oh my God ! My husband's birthday is this week and he loves caramel as a flavor. I am sooo baking this for him !!!
how'd it go?
How did it go? For me the cake was very dense and not some much flavor. And caramel i ruined the first one so trying again
This is definitely a cake for very special occasions because it’s so time consuming. I recently made it for a birthday and I think it took me over 7 hours total. The cake itself was very delicious and not overly sweet, but for anyone who is concerned about sweetness, you would want to make sure you don’t add too much caramel between the layers or try using salted butter. The caramel is so out of this world good!! I had almost a cup left over, so I happily used some of it to make a latte for the birthday girl. This was my first time making Swiss buttercream and while some family members loved it, I thought it was good, but not great. I found it a little tricky to work with because it would get soft and would not hold its shape when I tried piping flowers. Overall, It was still a very nice change from the usual butter cream or cream cheese frosting and it was very fluffy. I did not end up using all of the frosting and had about a cup left which I froze. The batter was enough to make two 6-inch cakes and one 9 inch layer, so I will definitely plan on baking just the cake by itself. The cake was sturdy and would hold up to different kinds of frosting. Plus it is enough to feed 12-15 people since it is so decadent and rich. I’m really glad I tried this because my cake was very well appreciated.
Okay, thas for the tips 😊😀
Thanks, going to try for three 8".
Man, I'm in live with your kitchen utensils. So gorgeous
Hello, John! I want to let you know how much I love your kitchen and all of your copper utensils (especially the pots and accessories hanging on the back wall)! A person can definitely lose themselves baking in there. My birthday is on Wednesday and I think I’m just going to have to bake this caramel baby myself, pausing a million times to follow your recipe to a T! Please keep the bloopers and bleeps in your videos when something happens that didn’t go as planned. They make me smile knowing even experienced bakers have their moments!
size pan? Gracias!
I am definitely going to make this soon! I swear one day I’m going to make all your cake recipes in one day and just eat them all in one sitting! They always look so good🤫🤣
"Until you're happy, not as a person, but with the color." Important distinction Sir, very important.
I’m a newbie baker and everything that I know, I just learned from the internet but why is that everytime I make your recipe, it turns out so well? You’re really amazing!
I made the caramel for my wedding cake a few days ago, ate it today. Thank you for the amazing recipe, it truly was amazing! Everyone loved the cake!!
Omg this looks amazing. Your channel is so underrated! I love everything you post and have done a few of your recipes and they’re always a huge hit!
That cake looks absolutely delicious!
But honestly, the copper in your kitchen is BREATHTAKING!
Seriously such a stunningly curated space!
Hi John, I made this Caramel Cake for my husband’s birthday and everybody at the party totally just loved it. Really thankful to you the way you are so particular about the measurements that things just can’t go wrong. It turned out to be a super moist, absolute indulgence caramel cake. The Swiss meringue caramel sauce buttercream was insanely good. I just can’t wait to try every recipe on your channel. Thanks a ton😁
I’m so making it this weekend 🤤 I love caramel! 😍
I wanted to say I love your videos because when I make something sometimes I question myself with how it looks, but being able to bake with your videos makes me feel so much better! Also every recipe I’ve used of yours has not let me and my neighbors down! 😆
I just went back to rewatch your ‘how to get flat cake layers’ video, but this notification got me a little excited haha❤️
🙏🏻💖
I'm so impressed with all the time & effort that you & your spouse put into your videos. Also, I don't think people realize all the stops & redos that go into making a food video, & then of course, the endless editing. Thanks for your creative energy!
aside from a perfectly wonderful recipe, the instructions and additional tips are amazing. so precise and clear. really fool proof! Thank you!
Oh wow! Perfect timing! A customer wants a vanilla cake with caramel icing at the end of February. For sure this will be my guide. Thanks so very much!
WHO WOULD DISLIKE ANY OF THESE HAPPY VIDEOS!?! They must have sad lives lol thanks for all that you do John!
I got way too excited when you said, "One gets caramel, one gets _more_ caramel."
I appreciated the time you take to convert the cups measurements into GRAMS! Since I measure by grams I know how much of each ingredient I need. Thank you
Wow. That cake looks amazing!
ok
......
Wow that cake looks amazing
Why are the replies so disappointed 💀
@@xolio1993 I was thinking the same
This cake looks so beautiful and delicious! I've used cake strips ever since I watched John's flat layer cake video and it is the most game changing tip ever.
Thanks John!
@@issra8408 Professional chefs do not use them because they are not realistic in a production kitchen. When I am making cake at work, I am making 2 dozen rounds, not three. They are a good idea if you are baking at home although I have never used them.
Cole PDX his husband and kids are so lucky
@@belindabrooks6555 you should try it out. I also use cake strips because of this channel and they work beautifully. Tbh I enjoy having flat cakes without any dry crispy edges.
The pure joy when he sings “look at this next layer” lol
Thank you
I just love how natural spontanious and relatable he is🥰
you are truly an inspiration to my baking world. lol i just started baking from scratch and thanks to you I've also started making my own butter cream. can't wait to try out more of your recipes. the other day it was my brother in laws birthday and i made him your moist chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream in the inside of the cake with cream cheese butter cream on the outside and topped it with oreo balls.
omg omg omg how did you just read my mind, i’m making my friend a caramel cake for her birthday on saturday and NEEDED this video, thank you so much!! :)
How was the cake? Is it good?
I like this dude. He makes mistakes yet just move on like an everyday cook.
Love it! I made it 2 weeks ago and can't stop thinking about it 🤤. Best cake I've ever made! Thank you ❤️
Those stripes and the sea salt just finish it off so beautifully!
I LOVE how he tells you if will look like that, like this and you’re gonna worry; but that’s okay! It’s normal. Really helps you make something because you know you’re doing it correctly without doubting yourself!
Amazing and extremely delicious. Although it took me 5 hours from start to finish but worth. Definitely on my favorite list and will make it again
This is such a good recipe! Love it! I like the way he explains things! Very clear and easy to understand! He is my favorite RUclipsr for baking! I like easy recipes but this caramel cake recipe seems complicated. I will definitely bake this when I have the time and ready for a challenge recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I learn soo much with your videos!! I definitely use the cake’s bands for the perfect flat and smooth edges cake, and it works!! Also, thanks to you I did my very first Oreo cookie cake, and filling, and caramel and caramel frosting, and the are all delicious! Thank you!!
AND, I very much enjoy your personality and the way you explain everything!
Boiling sugar is such a task. Most of the time, the second that I take my eyes off it, the sugar gets brunt.
ayyy army
also i tried to make caramel this morning and my first batch completely burned lol
and my second one, i forgot to put the butter in so it was a little too liquidy
Thank you
I tried this recipe and it was a hit! My first ever cake and it came out amazing! Could you do a tutorial on how to make caramel cupcakes:)
I would think you could just make cupcakes using this recipe. If you wanted you could use a small round cutter to cut out the centers and pipe in the caramel if you wanted to make them caramel filled. For the frosting make the two colors he does in the recipe and put them side by side in a piping bag and frost with whatever tip you want to use.
you using paddle attachment, or whisk attachment?
This caramel recipe was the absolute best!! I cannot believe I actually did it and it is delicious!! Thank you so much, I'm a huge fan!
Your cakes and decorating are amazing and you make it look soooooo easy!!!
I just saw your instastory and I had to go back on youtube!
It is almost therapeutic to watch your videos. I have so many plans with these cakes! Thank you!
It is great therapy!!
You had me at home made caramel sauce! That cake just looks incredible!
thank you!!!
Ahhh i love it when you pop up jere and on Chef John's videos :))
Me too. Love to bake and John makes it fun!
I love this because your instructions are so clear and you make it look hard but easy at the same time I made this and it came out amazing
It's so beautiful, John!! And the new kitchen looks like a dream.
Just finished making your German Chocolate Cake. My house smells heavenly. Thank you.
I love that cake so much!!
@buffboy LOL wow do you have manners
@buffboy LOL dude what is wrong with you. are you really that upset with yourself that you have to take it out on a random person? i think the person on their profile looks beautiful. they don't need your opinion, so don't share it.
CodM-BeginnerYT u make me throw up please shut up❤️
your equipment is lovely! really like the copper look
I'm not much of a cake person, but watching you bake is so satisfying. Your cakes are beautiful. Can't wait to try all your cupcake recipes though!
I have been binge watching your previous videos and I love the evolution of your editing
if I had teeth like him, I wouldn't stop smiling.
T gmail I guess that’s why he’s so happy
Perfect teeth hasn't made you any happier either🙄
He has a perfect smile.
When Clark Kent makes cakes
Died and gone to heaven
Caramel is my most favorite flavor and I'm glad that you made this!!! Can't wait to try it out ❣️❣️
I'm only 16 and starting to get into baking. Ur videos really help me learn a lot . Most don't so thank you!
I can’t believe how madly I’ve fallen for you, John. You know the way to my heart. 🥺😍😘
Same here he has my heart ❤
Oh yes! I have always wanted to follow a wonderful caramel cake recipe, one that is simple and easy to follow so I can make it myself. Thank you John it is one gorgeous cake
Love, love, love your pots and measuring spoons! All copper! ❤️
How the stripes come together is kind of amazing! 💥
If there were a national butter shortage, I wonder whether John could survive.
Well, you're not that far off, lol
Soloution: Make your own
Yes, he would make it.
Omg Yessss. So much butter and sugar. Hahaha. I love his recipes!
@@aamnanazir3856 Have a good cardiologist on speed-dial...or be lucky. I say that while heading to the kitchen for some ice cream!
Separating egg whites is easier when it’s cold. But it’s easier to whip when it’s room temp.
So separate it ahead of time and let it sit.
love preppy kitchen!!! my daily dose of happy!!
Love your fresh honesty and genuine self. Also, your videos are very informative down to the smallest detail. 💗💗
Thank you for not throwing out perfectly functional object just cause they look old! If they still work they’re still good!
I made one of your recipes (I have seen this channel recently 😅) it was amazing so I'm going to make this one too😬😬😬
Look forward to making this delicious cake for my mothers day dinner.
Thank you Tracey
I got some cake strips for christmas and Im so excited to use them this weekend with this recipe!! nothing beats homemade caramel
I always make homemade Carmel 😋 It's alot cheaper than buying it every week. I use it in my coffee YUMMM 💞
Wanna smash babe??????❤️❤️

I am looking forward to trying this! And I also appreciate your notes at the end of your recipes.
OMGEE i just love you and your baking, cooking and all, thank you so much. I send my friends to you all the time for recipes. Thanks again
I understand getting the egg whites to 160F, but I'm old enough to remember my aunt's royal icing recipe that was raw egg whites, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and shortening.
Raw egg whites are actually extremely low risk. Raw egg YOLKS contain the most if not all of the bacteria. Also in raw cake batters or cookie doughs, the main danger is in the flour and not the eggs. You can also eat pasteurized eggs raw, because they are heated gently to kill all bacteria but not cook the eggs!
@@zachariahho697 yes! Also because egg whites have a low ph, it's not a nice place for bacterias to live in, that's why it's safer. Anyways it's always better to buy the pasteurized egg whites! (Excuse me if I made a mistake, English it's not my first language)
Omg you made a king of the hill joke. Thank you❤
for some reason I use your videos as background music if I am working at something and cannot watch. Its just so relaxing....and knowing you are making something wonderful even if I am not watching it is a plus :D
I love watching your videos. You made it sooo real. Thank you
Imagine having this dude as your husband.
Alisha Danielle his husband is lucky!!!
swear it will be amazing
to have someone bake for your parties with you
I mean
"The clean burning taste of propane, I tell you hwhat"
That caramel is on point!! I just love your videos and congrats on the new home, the kitchen is awesome!!
Just found your channel. I was actually just looking for caramel recipe for my coffee but somehow got pulled to your cake videos. They are amazing. Not only the cakes but the video quality as well. I enjoy the way you talk and can understand your instructions perfectly well though English isn't my first language. I'm now inspired to seriously learn how to bake. Thank you for your videos.
I was not a believer in cake strips, until I
had to do a wedding and the thought of leveling 12 cakes made me want to vomit..I won't bake a cake without them!!
Assonta Wagner do u recommend them to a beginner baker?❤️
@@mariliaiordanou5311 absolutely! I would consider myself a beginning baker and I love them. If you want to try it out first, you can use the method he suggests with foil and papertowels.
"Add a few tablespoons at a time until you’re happy. Not as a person, but with the color of the caramel"
Got worried there for a second as a depress person
You always make my day JOHN! Just adore you💕
I tried making this caramel cake for my daughter's 7th birthday and my girls love it even though I failed on the swiss meringue buttercream part😁 😁😁 thank you for sharing my your amazing cake recipes, I 've learned a lot and my kids are so happy for the endless pastries that I was able to make because of you. Thank you so soooo much😍
Every time I watch your videos, I’m astounded that you don’t weigh 400lbs 😂
Wanna smash babe??????❤️❤️
I tried this recipe and I did everything as followed and everything turned out great except the icing. It was by far the worst icing I’ve ever tasted. The amount of butter used was way too much and it tasted nothing like icing, just butter.
You didn’t mix it properly , u need to keep mixing till it doesn’t taste like butter
@@michellethavar9489 I agree. I’ve only made Swiss meringue buttercream once and it was heavenly. I did beat the hell out of it tho 😂
I made a few of his receipes anddd they all are so goooooood. Never failed
The cake is amazing. When I grow up I want a kitchen like yours.
