When there is a celebration there should be cake!  This time of year always brings lots of reasons to celebrate.  No matter what you are celebrating from graduation parties, teacher appreciation celebrations, birthday parties to Mother’s Day this Naked Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting will be a star.

I know this time of year can be crazy busy and running to the grocery store to pick up a store bought cake even seems daunting with your packed schedule, but I’m going to show you how easy it is to make your celebration extraordinary with this simple and delicious cake!  I love the naked cake trend, because it gives imperfect bakers and cake decorators like myself the chance to shine.  There is no need to worry about getting the frosting perfectly smooth and there is no need to stress about decorating the cake too, it’s perfect with it’s imperfections.

The Cake Boss has released a variety of new products at Michaels this month that make preparing for Mother’s Day a breeze!  I used this new line to make my naked chocolate cake and loved how simple it was to create this cake and know you’ll love it too…so much so I have an exciting giveaway for you so make sure you keep reading!

The key to making a great naked chocolate cake is using a good quality chocolate or in my case a great cake mix!  I used the new Cake Boss Chocolate Trifecta cake mix.  This cake mix was incredibly moist and had a rich chocolate flavor, it’s hard to believe it came from a box.  After you’ve mixed your cake batter pour it evenly into four 8″ round cake pans and bake according to directions.

While your cake is baking prepare the salted caramel frosting.  Making a cake and icing from scratch can be time consuming and I know we are all short on time this time of year so I’m going to show you how to whip up a delicious semi-homemade icing in no time.  I used a can of the Cake Boss vanilla icing to create this creamy salted caramel frosting.  The vanilla frosting is delicious on it’s own, but I wanted to incorporate my favorite flavor combination with my chocolate cake and vanilla just seemed a little to plain for me, get the recipe below.

Now that you’ve baked the cake and prepared the frosting it’s time to start assembling your cake.  Start by trimming off the rounded top part of your cake so that each layer is level and will sit on top of each other without toppling over.

Cake Boss Cutting Cake

Spread a layer of the vanilla salted caramel frosting between each layer of the cake and stack the layers on top of each other.  I used the cast iron decorating table by the Cake Boss, it spins so you can make sure every inch of your cake is perfectly frosted.

Next, drizzle caramel on top of the cake and sprinkle with a tiny bit of sea salt.

    My favorite cake is a rich chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, although I did find a spice cake recipe I love, too. This cake looks delicious!

    I love just about any cake with a good buttercream frosting. Milk chocolate cake and frosting is probably my favorite.
