Ingredients

180g butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yoghurt
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup caramel sauce
3/4 tsp sea salt flakes

For icing

100g butter, softened
1 1/3 cup icing sugar

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Line an 18cm x 25cm slice tin with baking paper.
Step 2

In a stand mixer or using hand-held beaters, cream butter and sugars until thick. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour, sour cream and salt and mix until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin.
Step 3

Make icing by whisking together softened butter and sugar until smooth. Combine caramel sauce with salt flakes and add 1/2 cup to the icing. Beat well to combine.
Step 4

Spread caramel icing over cooled cake. Drizzle with remaining salted caramel sauce. Slice into squares and serve.
