Base Ingredients

Caramel Swirl Ingredients

Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the Base Mixture

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Caramel Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 6

    Create the Swirl

    Drizzle the caramel over the batter in the baking pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the caramel into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
