Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the cake pan by greasing it and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the salted caramel sauce gently without overworking the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk powdered sugar and milk/cream together to make the glaze, adjusting for consistency.
  10. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over it, and garnish with additional caramel sauce and cinnamon-sugar.
