Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

This Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake is a cake to be reckoned with.

There are four layers of rich chocolate cake smothered in a salted caramel sauce worth dying for, and surrounded by a cloud of dark chocolate ganache. The caramel sauce soaks through the cake and makes it all gooey, sticky and sweet with a salt spike now and again.

Drizzle a little more dark chocolate for decoration and brace yourself for a taste sensation. Swooning yet?

As I said before, sinful.
