Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.75 cup caramel sauce
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup gold cake sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt cake pan or round cake pan.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk into the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and brown sugar. Spoon this mixture into the center of the batter, being careful not to let it touch the edges of the pan.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the caramel mixture, spreading it to completely cover the 'treasure' layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the caramel center) comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cool, decorate the top of the cake with gold cake sprinkles to give it a 'treasure' theme.

Step 12

Slice and serve the cake to reveal the gooey caramel and chocolate center. Enjoy your Pirates Golden Treasure Cake!
