FAQ
Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can bake the layers a day in advance. Wrap them tightly and assemble the cake when ready to serve.

Q: What’s the best substitute for buttermilk?
A: You can use plain yogurt or make homemade buttermilk by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for 5–10 minutes.

Q: Is caramel sauce the same as dulce de leche?
A: Not quite. Dulce de leche is made by slowly heating sweetened milk, making it thicker and richer than most caramel sauces.

Q: Can I freeze this cake?
A: Yes. Wrap unfrosted cake layers in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before assembling.
