This cake features a unique and rich flavor from the caramelized sugar, which is different from other caramel cakes. The key is the homemade burnt sugar syrup. To make it, sugar is cooked until it melts and turns a deep caramel color, and then boiling water is added carefully. This information comes from Sally’s Baking.
