Stroopwafel Caramel Cake

If you are a caramel lover then this Stroopwafel Caramel Cake is for you! It’s a real showstopper and perfect for upcoming mothers day.

Filled with different layers and textures of caramel. A soft and tender cake with pieces of Daelmans Stroopwafels cookies, a smooth and creamy caramel frosting, topped off with caramel sauce and more Stroopwafels.

Have you tried Stroopwafels before? They are 2 thin layers of waffles with a creamy, caramel sauce in the middle. I love to heat mine over my cup of tea so the caramel sauce melts a little, so yummy.

This two layered cake is enough for 10-12 servings. The cake keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge, if there’s any let that is!

I also made this recipe so it can easily be cut in half for a one layer cake. Perfect for a smaller gathering or family party. Everyone is practicing social distancing so sometimes a small cake is the way to go.

Ingredients needed for this Stroopwafel Caramel Cake:

• Almond milk, my favourite milk to bake with! I always use unsweetened. You can also substitute with regular milk.
• Apple cider vinegar, to make home made butter milk, also to help it rise and hold together since this cake doesn’t have any eggs.
• Light brown sugar, pack in into the measuring cup
• Neutral oil like vegetable oil, canola oil or as I used, sunflower oil
• Vanilla bean powder or vanilla bean paste. I like to use one of these two for the strongest vanilla flavour but if you don’t have it, you can substitute for vanilla extract 
• All purpose flour, measured correctly. I highly suggest using weight when you are baking, it is way more accurate and easier to use. If you dont have a kitchen scale, measure the flour correctly by first fluffing the flour with a spoon and then pouring it into the measuring cup or spooning it. Level of the top with a knife.
• 1 cup (100g) almond flour, almond meal can also be used for a little courser texture
• Baking powder and baking soda, a mix of the two really makes this cake light and fluffy, yet tender and moist
• Pinch of sea salt or normal table salt
• 1 package (200g) of Daelmans Stroopwafels, you will use 4 of the cookies in the cake batter and the rest for decoration the cake. I used the small ones to decorate this cake.

For the Caramel sauce:

• Sugar, normal caster sugar
• Unsalted butter at room temperature cut into cubes
• Heavy whipping cream, room temperature. If your sauce is a little too thick add a tablespoon more cream and stir well.
• Sea salt, optional but highly recommended

For the Frosting:

• Unsalted butter of good quality at room temperature 
• The caramel sauce you made
• Powdered sugar, I say 2-3 cups because depending on how firm and sweet you like your frosting. I only used 2 cups, start with that and then add more if necessary. You can always add more but its hard to take away ones added 😉
