Salted Caramel Buttercream
225g / 1 Cup Unsalted Butter
375g / 3 Cups Icing Sugar
2tbsp Double Cream
1tsp Vanilla Extract
4tbsp Salted Caramel Sauce
Directions:
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk together the wet ingredients before slowly adding to the the dry mixture until everything incorporated. Pour the batter into three 12inch cake tins and bake at 170degrees celsius for 15-20minutes.
For the salted caramel, heat up the sugar and water on a medium heat. Once the mixture turns a deep amber colour, add in the butter and remove from the heat. To finish add in the double cream and salt.
For the salted caramel buttercream beat the unsalted butter slowly adding in spoonfuls of the icing sugar. Leave to mix for 10minutes until pale and fluffy. Next, add in the double cream, vanilla and salted caramel and mix for another 2 minutes.
Pop some popcorn and place into a large bowl. Repeat the steps for the caramel sauce again, however this time, omit the double cream and add baking soda instead. Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir well before leaving to dry on a baking tray.
Stack the cakes filling each layer with the buttercream frosting. Create a crumb coat and leave to sit in a fridge for 1 hour. Once the buttercream has set, add the remaining buttercream to the cake. To finish, drizzle the caramel sauce around the sides of the cake and stop with the popcorn in the centre.
