BROWN SUGAR POUND CAKE

This Easy Caramel Drizzle is not like a store bought caramel. When it cools it becomes just like a chewy caramel but not the kind that sticks to your teeth…..the good kind!

I really want to make this! But I’ve never seen toffee bits here in France. Can you suggest a Substitute?
Thank you for your reply-

  Hi Debra,
  You could use a crushed up Skore Bar. The only difference is that it is coated with chocolate so you would also be adding bits of chocolate. Any Hard toffee bar will do. 🙂

I loved this cake, but I did have trouble with the caramel drizzle. It turned out thick, almost unspreadable (forget any drizzling), and cooled to a thick hard crust. Eight minutes seemed like a long time to simmer, but to be honest, I cooked it on med-high for the first couple minutes until I re-read the directions. Is this sauce supposed to be thin and easy to drizzle?

  Hi Terri,
  This caramel drizzle does get cold quickly. Make sure you have your cake ready for the drizzle before making it. The key is to drizzle while it’s hot. Also, make sure you simmer very slowly. Thanks for visiting and your comment. Have a GREAT day! 🙂

I like to make desserts and freeze individual servings. How long can this caramel drizzle be kept in the refrigerator to reheat when thawing the cake?

- Sheryl on August 29, 2013 at 7:30 pm said:
  
  Hi Nancy, I don’t know. If I had to guess maybe a couple of weeks or longer. There really isn’t anything that spoils quickly in the recipe.

This makes an incredible frosting/glaze! Just keep stirring constantly and pour it quickly once it’s finished. It begins to harden immediately.

Can you reheat the caramel to reuse?

  Yes Tamara. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir and if it needs more only do 15 seconds.

My Caramel Drizzle tasted so good as I was putting it on the cake, but when it firmed up it was sugary. What did I do wrong?

  Hi Pat, The drizzle does harden like frosting once it cools down.

    It was firm but that’s not a problem — the problem is the drizzle was not smooth & creamy, it was grainy, like when you make fudge & it turns grainy.

Hi Pat how much does this recipe give you? I wanted to make a mason jar of it and wanted to know if it would harden up quite a bit or stay pour able.

  Hi Marsha, Yes this will harden. It’s more of a drizzle to go over cakes. Here is a link to a more pourable caramel. Easy Caramel Sauce

Can you use the easy caramel sauce on this cake or will it just slide off?

  No Deborah, this caramel recipe goes with the cake. It is thick and will harden in minutes into a delicious frosting.

Very good recipe for icing, sounds like the one my mom made similar to put on her homemade chocolate cake, was such a favorite for myself and siblings. None of us had the recipe for the icing , so will definitely try this one. Thanks for the recipe

Hi Sheryl,

Finally got around to baking the cake and making the sauce. Delish!
One thing though, my caramel didn’t come out as dark as depicted. Any suggestions?

  Hi Sherry, I’m glad the cake turned out and you loved it as much as I do! The only thing I can think of as far as the caramel color is the cooking time. Either it didn’t simmer hard enough, long enough or both.

  Hi Valerie! That’s an awesome idea! Yes….as long as the caramel is hot. Once the drizzle cools it will harden like a frosting.

  Hi Terrie, This Caramel Drizzle does harden (forms a hard shell skin) when it cools. I think it could hold up to being wrapped.
