Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup casting sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and casting sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- For the caramel sauce, combine heavy cream and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer for about five minutes until thickened.
- Once cooled, assemble the cake by layering with caramel sauce and nuts between the two layers. Drizzle more caramel and sprinkle additional nuts on top.
