Creating Caramel Filled Doughnuts with Whipped Cream and Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the yeast mixture once activated.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

7. Shape the Doughnuts: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out circles using a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters.

8. Second Rise: Place the cut-out doughnuts on a floured surface, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

9. Heat Oil: In a deep pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

10. Fry the Doughnuts: Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

11. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

12. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

13. Fill the Doughnuts: Use a piping bag to fill each doughnut with caramel sauce.

14. Add Whipped Cream: Top each filled doughnut with a swirl of whipped cream.

15. Drizzle with Sauce: Finish off by drizzling additional caramel sauce over the top.
