Caramel Mud Cake

Sounds delicious! What is golden syrup and vanilla essence. I have never heard of those.

Hi Jennifer, Golden syrup is a pale treacle.Normal treacle is too bitter to use in this recipe so if I were you I would try and source some Golden Syrup. I’ve had a look and Google tells me that you can buy it in most supermarkets in America. I’m in Australia and Golden syrup was originally from England so I’m not sure where you are.Vanilla Essence is I believe the same as Vanilla Extract. Good luck, would love to know how you go with the Golden Syrup and what you think of the cake. Raewyn :)

Raewyn. Thanks for the Info. I am in the US. I will have to figure out where I can buy Golden Syrup. I had feeling vanilla essence was the same as extract but I wanted to be sure. I will definitely let you know when i make. It will have to go on the list to try :)

Hi, I find vanilla essence isn’t as strong as vanilla extract so if using extract you should only use half the amount you’d use of essence. Extract is more concentrated and stronger.

Finally made the cake after weeks for a bake sale at my work. I didn’t realize it was only 1 8” so I need to make another batch tomorrow so I can put the caramel ganache on it.

I did save a little so I could make a simpler and my hubby and love it! He thinks it tastes like waffles with syrup.

Oh yum!!! I like that comparison :) My family always mentions jersey caramels which are a type of soft caramely fudgy lolly here in Australia…..mmmmmm….now I want one lol! Thanks for letting me know how it went Jennifer. Your hubby might like to try it warmed in the microwave with vanilla ice cream too…...mmmmmm haha!! ;) x

Thank you for this recipe, Raewyn. I’ve been looking for a caramel cake recipe for my brother on his birthday, he keeps giving me the hint of what flavor he wants. Thanks again.
