If you’re a fan of licorice, like me, this is definitely a cake to try! It tastes amazing with Dumle Licorice, which is one of my favorite candies.

The licorice is paired with fresh lemon for a little tartness, while the salted caramel adds a rich, sweet contrast. Together, the flavors work beautifully and make for a really delicious cake.
