Three-Layer Caramel Cake

• Cake:
• 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 1/2 cups canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• Caramel Frosting:
• 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans.
2. Combine flour, canola oil, white sugar, buttermilk, eggs, vinegar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Mix until evenly distributed, 2 to 5 minutes. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
4. Combine sweetened condensed milk, dark brown sugar, butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly until frosting is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove cooled cakes from pans. Spread frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides.
