Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sugar without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, about 6-8 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the caramelized sugar, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Be cautious as the mixture may splatter.
-
Allow the caramel mixture to cool slightly while you prepare the cake batter.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy.
-
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
-
Slowly pour the slightly cooled burnt sugar mixture into the cake batter, stirring gently to combine.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
