Caramel swirl cake

Serves:

Serves 8-12

Ingredients

• 180g unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups (280g) caster sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup (80ml) milk
• 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour

For caramel:

• 400g tin condensed milk
• 30g butter
• 2 tbsp golden syrup

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 24cm springform cake tin.

Beat butter, sugar and vanilla seeds until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Fold through milk and flour.

In a small saucepan, gently heat caramel ingredients, stirring often, until butter has melted and caramel is smooth.

Spoon three-quarters of cake batter into prepared tin. Pour over caramel. Top with remaining cake batter. Use a fork to gently swirl mixture so as to distribute caramel through cake batter without fully combining it.

Bake for 40 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in tin.
