Bake for 45 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean and the top is golden and springy to the touch.Leave the cake to cool in its tin before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the Caramilk ganache,gently heat the cream in abain marieover a low heat until small bubbles begin to appear.
Remove the cream from the heat and add the chocolate, then stir gently until the chocolate is almost fully melted.Use a whisk to combine the two until the ganache becomes glossy.

Once the ganache is cool, prepare the vanilla buttercream in a medium bowl. Beat cream butter, icing sugar,vanilla and milk with an electric beater until well smooth and fluffy.
