Caramellos image

This is one for the teenagers - vanilla cake swirled with caramel and chunks of chocolate, topped generously with cream and more caramel, and nuts, and chocolate and calories. Oh, to be a teenage stick insect... The sticky toffee sauce is available in jars from supermarkets and delis. This also works well with Nutella.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup very soft butter
4 ounces milk chocolate
2/3 cup superfine (berry) sugar
2 heaping tbsp sticky toffee sauce, plus extra to decorate for the icing and decoration
2 eggs, beaten
splash of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract, or to taste
mascarpone or whipped cream
1 cup self-rising flour
icing sugar, to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/Gas 4) and put 12 muffin cases into a 12-hole muffin tin.
  • Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and beat until well mixed. Using 2 teaspoons, put a teaspoonful of the cake mixture into each paper case. Add a dollop of toffee sauce, then top with more cake mixture. Swirl a knife through the mixtures to blend them slightly together. Bake for 15-20 minutes until nicely risen and golden brown. Remove the cakes from the tins and cool on a wire rack.
  • To make the topping, put the mascarpone or cream in a bowl and flavour with sugar and vanilla to taste.
  • Swirl the topping on top of the cakes, drizzle with more toffee sauce and finally scatter with toasted almonds.
