If you're using caramel for the filling rather than as a decoration, it's important to know that it's prepared in a special way. Different proportions and additional ingredients will create a syrup that's just the right thickness, allowing the cake layers to soak in while maintaining a perfect appearance. This recipe will produce a soft caramel for your cake that won't run when cut. It will also retain its shape and consistency perfectly.
