To make the peanut butter nougat frosting
In a large bowl, beat together your butter and peanut butter until smooth. Slowly fold in your powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
To layer the cake
Place one single bottom layer of one of the cakes on a flat surface or serving dish. Lightly spread a thin layer of caramel, followed by 1/4 of the peanut butter frosting. Top with extra caramel. Place the top layer of the cake. Repeat the process, until you have all 4 layers on top of one another. Carefully add extra frosting on top, if desired.
