Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar and set the heat to medium-low.
Step 2
Stir constantly with a heat-resistant silicone spatula or wooden spoon as the sugar begins to melt. Break up clumps as needed and ensure even melting to prevent burning.
Step 3
Once the sugar fully melts and reaches a smooth amber color, add the unsalted butter. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Step 4
Stir the butter into the melted sugar until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. The mixture will bubble aggressively again. Stir until the cream is completely mixed and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 7
Allow the caramel drizzle to cool slightly, but not completely, before drizzling over your bundt cake. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before use.
