ONE SWEET STEP AT A TIME

Let’s make it.

Prepare

Heat a conventional oven to 175°C. Grease and line two 18 cm round tins.

Make the sponge

Beat butter and sugar until pale. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Fold in flour and baking powder with 50 ml milk.

Bake

Divide between the tins and bake for 25–32 minutes until springy and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then on a rack.

Frost

Beat frosting butter and icing sugar until light, adding the frosting milk gradually as needed.

Add caramel

Sandwich the cooled sponges with frosting and 60 g caramel sauce. Cover the top with the remaining frosting and drizzle with the rest of the caramel.

A helpful little detail

Use a thick caramel sauce and keep a small border around the filling so it does not spill from the layers.

Keeping it lovely

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring slices toward room temperature before serving.

Allergens

Wheat, milk and eggs. Chocolate and flavour toppings may contain soy or nuts. Always check your own ingredient labels.
