Golden Opulence Cake

This dessert is as grand as its name, and will stand out at any special occasion. The texture of the caramel sauce perfectly complements the rich vanilla flavor, and the topping of the edible golden leaf takes this dish to a whole new different level in terms of grandeur.

Ingredients:

• 251 gm butter
• 252 gm sugar
• 3 eggs
• 254 gm flour
• 255 ml caramel sauce
• Edible gold leaf

Method:

1. To kickstart the baking procedure, you have to first preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. After that, you are to combine sugar, butter, eggs and flour, and whisk everything together.
3. Next, you will need to pour this batter into a cake pan that has already been greased with butter. If the pan is round in shape then you are likely to get an even and beautiful shaped cake.
4. After you have baked the batter for 35 to 40 minutes, you must not forget to drizzle caramel sauce, covering all the sides of the cake, and garnishing it with the edible gold leaf right at the top.

If you do not have faith in the quality of store-bought caramel sauce, you can even make your own by boiling water and sugar until the syrup resembles the color of maple syrup, and add cream, vigorously combining everything together until the cream emulsifies into the sugar syrup.

You can even add a dash of sea salt on top to accentuate the sweetness of the cake. The moist cake absorbs the sea salt, so you need not worry about stray bits of salt coagulating at the top.
