Gooey, check. Oozy, check. Totally yum, double check. This is one cake you'll always remember!

Ingredients

2 x 600g packets caramel mud cake mix

4 eggs

½ cup vegetable oil

Vanilla ice-cream, to serve

SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

1 ½ cups brown sugar, firmly packed

1 ½ cups thickened cream

100g unsalted butter, chopped

1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Method

  1. Grease a 22.5cm x 5cm deep, square cake pan (base measures 21cm). Line base and sides with paper, extending paper 4cm above pan edges. 

  2. Combine both cake mixes in a large bowl, reserving icing sachets for another use. Add eggs, oil and 1 1/3 cups water. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. 

  3. Cook in a slow oven (150C) for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven. Stand in pan for 20 minutes. Turn out onto a serving plate. Cool for 45 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, make salted caramel sauce. Combine sugar, cream and butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until butter is melted. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in salt. 

  5. Pour into a large heatproof jug (sauce should measure about 3 cups). Cool for 1 hour. 

  6. Using the end of a round-handled wooden spoon, poke holes into cake, 3cm to 4cm apart and about half to three-quarters of the way down. 

  7. Stir sauce until smooth. Carefully pour into holes to fill. Spread enough of the remaining sauce over top of cake to cover with a thin glaze. 

  8. Cut warm cake into squares. Serve with ice-cream and remaining warm sauce. 

     

    TIP! Cooled sauce will thicken a little on cooling, but will still be easily pourable. Any leftover cake can be refrigerated in a container for up to one week. Reheat in the microwave just before serving.
