Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let the cakes cool completely.

Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream until smooth.
4 Prepare the caramel drip:
In a saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat until melted and golden.
Remove from heat and slowly whisk in warm cream and butter until smooth. Let cool slightly.
5 Assemble the cake:
Spread frosting between the layers and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the edges to create a drip effect.
