Caramel Cake
Description
Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. But be prepared, as preparing this dessert will take you quite some time. You'll need to bake a sponge cake, prepare two types of cream, make caramel and glaze. Therefore, I recommend reading the instructions carefully. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
