Salted Caramel Mocha Sheet Cake

Salted Caramel Mocha Sheet Cake is topped with salted caramel frosting & chopped pecans. It’s like your favorite coffee house drink in a decadent sheet cake.

I am obsessed with salted caramel. How about you? Do you love it? I can’t seem to get enough of it. Whenever it’s an option, that’s my “go-to” flavor, especially this time of year. It seems to be everywhere & I’m quite happy about that. The salty sweetness just makes my heart sing. So it’s no surprise that I have been wanting to make just about everything with salted caramel.

Salted Caramel Mocha Sheet Cake

For the longest time I have been wanting to make a salted caramel sheet cake. I was trying to decide the best way to add that flavor directly to the cake batter & was perusing the aisles of the store for inspiration. I thought about a flavored syrup but thought it might not make well. Then when I was picking up my coffee creamer I found a new flavor that was just perfect.

I used Salted Caramel Mocha creamer from International Delight in the cake to give it that great coffee house flavor I love. It was phenomenal!

I also used flaked sea salt along with the chopped pecans. I really wanted the salt to stand out with a cake as rich as this. It was perfect. I ordered my salt online, but I’m sure you could find it in the specialty section of some grocery stores. If you can’t find it, coarse sea salt is perfect too.
