📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 9-inch round cake pans or three 8-inch round cake pans (see note) with parchment paper and butter and flour them (or use floured cooking spray). You will have some batter left over.
3
Mix cake mix, water, oil, eggs, bananas, and baking soda in a large bowl on low for ⏱️ 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat for ⏱️ 2 minutes.

4
Fill prepared pans equally.
5
Bake for about ⏱️ 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. (Time will depend on size of pan.) Cool in pan for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
6
Make the Caramel:
7
While the cake is in the oven, add the caramels and heavy whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl. Heat on HIGH for ⏱️ 2 minutes. Let it sit for one minute, then whisk until caramel is compeltely melted (reheating as needed).
8
Once caramel is completely melted, place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
9
When getting ready to frosting the cake, remove cooled caramel from the refrigerator. It will be stiff. Beat with a hand mixer until the caramel becomes more creamy, only a few minutes. Now it is like a thin frosting you can fill your cake with.
10
Make the Frosting:
11
Beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Slowly beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until frosting has formed. Mix in vanilla.

To assemble your cake, place some frosting in a pastry bag fitted with your choice of tip (I used a 1M). If needed, trim the top of your cake layers to make them level.
13
Place one layer on cake plate. Pipe a rim around the edge with cream cheese frosting, creating a barrier for the caramel filling. Evenly spread caramel on the bottom later. Place top cake layer on the caramel. Frost the cake as desired.
