Equipment

  • Stove-top or Thermomix
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 250 g salted butter chopped
  • 200 g white chocolate chopped
  • cups (450g) brown sugar firmly packed
  • cups (375ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs beaten lightly
  • 2 cups (300g) plain flour sifted
  • cup (100g) self-raising flour sifted
  • Salted Caramel Sauce
  • Salted Caramel Frosting

Instructions

Conventional Method

  • Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Grease and line 2 X 20cm round cake tins with baking paper.
  • Place the chopped butter, white chocolate brown sugar and water into a saucepan. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and aside to cool.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time.
  • Whisk in the vanilla.
  • Sift in the plain flour and the self-raising flour and mix to combine.
  • Divide the mixture equally between the two prepared cake tins.
  • Bake in the oven for roughly 60-75 minutes - the cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Because of the long cooking time, the top of your cakes may begin to over-brown. If this starts to happen, simply cover it with foil.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Set aside 4 tbs of the salted caramel sauce for drizzling over the top.
  • Prepare the salted caramel frosting using the remaining salted caramel sauce.
  • Place one of the cakes onto a serving plate. Spread half of the frosting onto the top of the cake and add the second cake layer on top.
  • Spread the remaining frosting over the top (reserve ¼ cup if using Maltesers around the base).
  • Pipe the reserved frosting around the very base of the cake and pop the Maltesers in place.
  • Add chopped caramel Kit Kats and jersey caramels to the top (alternatively you could leave the cake plain or add chocolate curls).
  • Drizzle with the reserved salted caramel sauce.

Thermomix Method

  • Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Grease and line 2 X 20cm round cake tins with baking paper.
  • Place the chopped butter, white chocolate brown sugar and water into the TM bowl. Melt for 8-10 minutes on 80 degrees, Speed 1.5 or until the sugar has completely dissolved and the butter and chocolate have melted.
  • Remove the lid and leave to cool completely (if you want to hurry this up, pour the liquid into a separate bowl as it will cool much quicker).
  • Once the mixture has cooled, add the eggs one at a time while mixing on Speed 4.
  • Add the vanilla and mix on Speed 4 for a further 10 seconds.
  • Add the plain flour and the self-raising flour and mix on Speed 3 for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds on Speed 3.
  • Divide the mixture equally between the two prepared cake tins. Bake in the oven for roughly 60-75 minutes - the cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Because of the long cooking time, the top of your cakes may begin to over-brown. If this starts to happen, simply cover it with foil.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the salted caramel sauce. Set aside 4 tbs of the salted caramel sauce for drizzling over the top.
  • Prepare the salted caramel frosting using the remaining salted caramel sauce.
  • Place one of the cakes onto a serving plate. Spread half of the frosting onto the top of the cake and add the second cake layer on top. Spread the remaining frosting over the top (reserve ¼ cup if using Maltesers around the base).
  • Pipe the reserved frosting around the very base of the cake and pop the Maltesers in place.
  • Add chopped caramel Kit Kats and jersey caramels to the top (alternatively you could leave the cake plain or add chocolate curls). Drizzle with the reserved salted caramel sauce.
