This Salted Caramel Sheet Cake is going to take your sheet cake game to a whole new level.  Deliciously moist sheet cake, cooked to perfection, and topped with an ooey-gooey blend of melted caramel, toffee bits, chocolate chips, and sea salt.  You won’t want a regular sheet cake again!

Salted Caramel Sheet Cake

There is this store by my house that sells these individually wrapped chocolate covered caramels topped with sea salt.  Every time I go there, I look forward to the checkout where I know they are sitting, patiently waiting for me to cave and buy one. I can barely make it to my car before its gone. They are seriously mouth-watering. 

So that got me thinking.  What if I paired the same thing with one of my favorite desserts, my best ever chocolate cake?  The results were just as I expected. Glorius. 

Salted Caramel Sheet Cake Recipe

To make this recipe you start with a traditional sheet cake base, my all-time favorite best ever chocolate cake recipe. That is the base for this delicious salted caramel sheet cake. This recipe also uses coffee (one of my favorite additions to a chocolate cake), but you can certainly use hot water if you prefer to leave the coffee out.
