  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently; pour into a prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  6. For the buttercream: Beat butter until fluffy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in caramel sauce until smooth.
  7. Frost cooled cake generously with the caramel buttercream.
