Advice

When baking a caramel cake, it is important to make sure that you measure all of the ingredients accurately. This will ensure the cake has the right consistency and that the flavors are balanced. It is also helpful to prepare the ingredients and pans before you begin so that you can move quickly through the recipe. To ensure the cake is moist and delicious, use a good quality butter and cream, and make sure the cake is cooled completely before adding the frosting or glaze. Lastly, be sure to use a caramel sauce that is not too thick or too thin, so that the cake is perfectly coated.
