CARAMEL CHIFFON CAKE
Chiffon cake layers are filled and frosted with rich caramel buttercream in this decadent dessert. The best part? There's no elaborate piping required; the cake is cleverly decorated with store-bought malted milk balls, plus easy-to-make chocolate curls and caramel dots.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 8-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla seeds. Whisk egg-yolk mixture into flour mixture.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Whisk one-third of egg-white mixture into batter. Gently but thoroughly fold in remaining egg-white mixture with a rubber spatula. Transfer batter to prepared pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 25 to 30 minutes. Run a knife around edges of pans. Invert cakes onto a wire rack; remove parchment. Let cool completely, upside-down.
- Using a serrated knife, split each cake horizontally into three equal layers. Place a cake layer on a cake stand or turn table. Spread 3/4 cup buttercream evenly over it, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup malted milk balls. Repeat with remaining 5 cake layers. Spread remaining buttercream over top and sides of cake. Decorate with more malted milk balls, caramel dots, and chocolate curls, if desired.
