  • 90 g butter
  • 125 ml double cream
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Line the baking tin with parchment paper.
  • Make sure it covers all sides.
  • This prevents sticking later on.

  • This takes about 3 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • Beat well after each egg.
  • Fold in flour and baking powder gently.
  • Add milk and mix until smooth.
  • The batter should be creamy.
  • Pour batter into prepared tin.
  • Spread it evenly with a spoon.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • It should be golden on top.
  • A skewer should come out clean.
  • Let it cool in the tin.
  • Put sugar in a saucepan.
  • Heat on medium until it melts.
  • Don't stir, just swirl the pan.
  • It will turn golden brown.
  • Add butter carefully, it will bubble.
  • Stir in cream slowly.
  • Add sea salt and mix well.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Pour caramel over cooled traybake.
  • Spread it evenly to all corners.
  • Let it set for 30 minutes.
  • Cut into 16 squares.
  • Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for mixing.
  • Cold butter won't mix properly.
  • Don't open the oven while baking.
  • This can make the cake sink.
  • Watch the caramel carefully when cooking.
  • It can burn very quickly.
  • Use good quality sea salt flakes.
  • They give better flavor than table salt.
  • Let the caramel cool before pouring.
  • Hot caramel can soak into cake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.
  • They stay fresh for 3 days.
  • You can freeze portions for later.
  • Warm slightly before serving for best taste.
