Ooey Gooey Salted Caramel Butter Cake
Oh my GOD YOU GUYS!!! This is SO delicious. And SO easy. Let me explain more about what on earth this recipe is about because it is really unique. This cake is meant to be scooped out of the baking pan, served warm in a bowl with whipped cream or ice cream. It's sloppy looking and sticky so its not going to necessarily look like a beautiful cake. But if you want people to absolutely drool and love you forever, you need to make this! As you are making this, you might feel like the pan size is wrong or your mixture is too small. Don't worry.. you didn't mess up. You should be pressing this into the pan and its going to look quite thin but it will grow to the right amount. This cake stays generally thin which is why it's hard to serve it and better to just embrace its sloppyness and scoop it up!
