Caramel cake
1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups water 250g butter, softened 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 4 eggs 2 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted 1/2 cup milk
Caramel walnuts 1 cup sugar 1 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
1 Put sugar in a shallow heavy-based pan over a low heat. Increase heat slightly and, without stirring, tilt pan to swirl sugar and caramel. Continue in this way for 12-15 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved and turns into a golden caramel.
2 Slowly add water to caramel and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until syrup reduces to about half a cup. Pour into a heatproof jug and allow to cool.
3 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line base and sides of a 22 x 10cm loaf tin with baking paper. Cream butter and brown sugar in the small bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add flour, milk and one-quarter cup of the cooled caramel and, using a large metal spoon, gently fold in until combined.
4 Pour mixture into prepared tin and smooth top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre. Remove the cake from the oven and stand on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out to cool. Spread cake with Caramel frosting and top with Caramel walnuts.
5 To make Caramel frosting: Beat butter in a bowl with electric beaters until light and fluffy. Add icing sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of remaining caramel sauce and beat until combined and creamy.
6 To make Caramel walnuts: Line an oven tray with baking paper. Put sugar in a shallow heavy-based pan over a low heat and allow to dissolve, tilting pan often. Bring to a gentle simmer for 7-10 minutes until syrup turns a light golden colour. Add walnuts and tilt pan to swirl caramel until nuts are coated. Pour onto prepared tray and leave to set. Break into pieces when firm.
