Low

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and flour 2 cake pans of 20 cm in diameter. For the cake, in a bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Set aside. In the blender, beat the eggs with the milk, oil, and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients while continuing to beat until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the molds and bake for about 30 minutes or until cooked. Cool and unmold. Level and cut in half to form 4 layers. For the frosting, in a small pot over low heat, melt the sugar and cook without stirring until it turns amber. Add the butter and cook for 4 minutes or until melted. Turn off the heat and add the heavy cream, mixing until incorporated. Cool. Place the caramel sauce in a bowl and gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating until you get a frosting. Assemble the cake by placing a layer of cake, caramel frosting, and nuts. Repeat until finished. Decorate with more frosting, melted chocolate, and chopped nuts.
