Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until smooth.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
Make the Caramel Sauce:
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
Allow the mixture to cook and turn a golden amber color.
Carefully add the heavy cream (the mixture will bubble), then whisk in the butter and salt until smooth.
Assemble:
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the cake.
Slice and serve warm for the best taste!
Enjoy the gooey caramel goodness of this deliciously decadent dessert!
