Notes
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter. Ensure the caramel is smooth before pouring it into the pan to avoid lumps. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
