CARAMEL RECIPE EASY RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter two 20cm springform tins and line the bases with baking parchment.
• Beat the butter and both sugars in a bowl with an electric whisk for a few mins until lighter in colour and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour and beating in between each egg. Add the remaining flour and milk. Divide between the cake tins and bake for 25-30 mins until they’re golden, spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle. Cool in the tins for a few mins, then tip out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, for the icing, put the butter and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk for a few mins until light and airy. Whisk in the caramel briefly, adding 1 tbsp of boiling water to loosen, if needed. Set aside until the sponges are completely cool before assembling, or the icing will melt.
• Use half the icing to sandwich the cakes together, then spread the remainder over the top, smoothing it out with a knife or the back of a spoon. Leave in a cool place until ready to serve. Drizzle with the 3 tbsp extra sauce (warm briefly in the microwave if it’s a little stiff), allowing some to drip down the sides if you like, and scatter over the toffee, chocolate or caramel pieces to serve. Edible glitter, birthday candles or sparklers, optional.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium microwavable bowl, mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup softened butter. Microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Continue heating 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each, just until bubbly (do not overheat); stir in corn syrup. Spread mixture in ungreased 9-inch round cake pan; sprinkle with pecans.
• In small shallow bowl, add 3 tablespoons melted butter. In another small shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Dip biscuits into melted butter to coat all sides; dip into sugar mixture, coating well. Arrange biscuits on top of topping mixture in pan.
• Bake 24 to 29 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are fully baked. Let stand 2 minutes. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Let pan remain on top of biscuits 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over biscuits; remove pan. Replace any remaining pecan or caramel mixture, if necessary. Serve warm.
