Hello there. I make this caramal cake recipe that I found. Itis delicious, however I do find the base doesn't seem to work. It doesnt hold together. The recipe calls for 25g melted butter to be mixed with 250g of butter shortbread biscuits (crushed). Then you press into a tin for 20 minutes to cool and then pour on the mixture on top. The problem I am having is that the base does not set firmly enough so I cant cut up my mixture like they suggest - so it almost becomes like a crumble. Can anyone help. Thanks.

Kaponga67, did you really mean only 25 g of melted butter ! If so that isn't enough to hold 250 g of crushed biscuits together.

are you sure it says, shortbread! 125 grams of butter, may help. Shortbread, would not be my choice of biscuit crumb.

Aha, thanks. Yes the recipe does say 25g of butter - and I thought it wasn't going to be enough to hold it together. Thank you. I am kind of new to making my own sweets so I am just following the recipe. The topping is raw sugar mixed with butter and condensed milk. Then topped with white chocolate. It is yummy but annoying that it doesnt hold together. Thank you.

More butter needed, perhaps they left the 1 off, try 100-125gm.
