Instructions
First make the cake.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two 8" round cake tins with baking paper.
Beat the butter, sugar and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs beating well after each addition. Add in the molasses.
Mix the baking powder and flour together and beat in half to the butter mixture.
Add in half of the buttermilk and beat.
Repeat the process.
Dissolve the baking soda in the vinegar and mix into the cake batter.
Divide the mixture evenly between each cake pan and place in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes.
Allow them to cool completely.
While the cake is cooking and cooling, prepare the fillings and icings.
Salted Caramel;
Place the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan on a medium to high heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the milk and bring to the boil.
Boil for at least 2 minutes before removing from the heat.
Add the salt and allow to cool.
Add ⅔ Cup of the salted caramel to the cream cheese and mix until smooth.
Allow this to set in the fridge.
Caramel Icing;
Beat the butter until smooth.
Add in the salted caramel sauce and icing sugar and beat until you have a thick spreadable consistency.
Cut each cake in half.
Between the first layer spread a little of the salted caramel sauce. Place the next layer on top.
Over this layer spread some salted caramel sauce and then top that with the chilled cream cheese mixture.
Place the next cake layer on top of that and spread some more salted caramel sauce over that.
Place the last layer on top and spread the caramel icing in an even layer over the top and sides.
Decorate however you like.
Spread the remaining salted caramel sauce in the center.
Crush over the two Crunchie bars.
(Optional) Crush the Oreos and digestives together and press around the sides of the cake.
