Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 200 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 cups self-raising flour
- 0.5 cup plain flour
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, white chocolate, brown sugar, golden syrup, and milk. Stir gently until the butter and chocolate have melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next.
Sift the self-raising flour and plain flour into the saucepan with the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the cooled cake for decoration and extra flavor before serving.
