Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3:
– Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Then slowly add to the butter mixture, alternating with milk and vanilla.
Step 4:
– Pour the dough mixture into the cake mold and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
– When the cake is done, let it cool in the mold for about 10 minutes before taking it out. Pour caramel over cake and sprinkle sea salt on top.
