How to Make Macadamia Nut Cake With Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the macadamia nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel sauce:
  10. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Do not stir. Cook until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color.
  11. Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble up) and whisk constantly until smooth.
  12. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and salt.
  13. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the salted caramel sauce generously over the top and serve.
