• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until smooth.

1. Bake the Cake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.

1. Make the Caramel Sauce:

• Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
• Allow the mixture to cook and turn a golden amber color.
• Carefully add the heavy cream (the mixture will bubble), then whisk in the butter and salt until smooth.

1. Assemble:

• Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the cake.
• Slice and serve warm for the best taste!
