- Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving

Notes
Make sure your butter is softened for easy mixing. Don’t overmix the batter; stop as soon as the dry ingredients are incorporated. Keep an eye on the cake while it bakes to prevent overcooking. For extra gooeyness, add more caramel sauce on top before serving.
