Ingredients:
For the Cake Base:
- 200 ml water
- 50g butter
- 150g all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 4 large eggs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Base:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
- Once the butter has melted completely, reduce the heat to low. Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
- Bake the Cake Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed. Let it cool completely before assembling the cake.
For the Vanilla Cream and Caramel Frosting (Ingredients not provided, so here’s a basic guideline):
Vanilla Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Frosting:
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- A pinch of salt
To Assemble:
- Prepare Vanilla Cream Filling:
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled.
- Make the Caramel Frosting:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once fully melted, add the butter and stir until combined.
- Carefully pour in the heavy cream (the mixture will bubble) and add a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool until thickened.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Slice the cooled cake base horizontally to create layers.
- Spread the vanilla cream filling between the layers.
- Use the caramel frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. For a decorative touch, drizzle some caramel on top or around the edges for a professional finish.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to set the frosting and filling.
- Serve this Velvety Caramel Cream Dream Cake as the perfect end to a special meal or as a treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
