  • Bake for 55-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for about 20 minutes in the pan and then invert on to a wire rack.

Caramel Glaze

  • Heat the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
  • Add in the cream, salt and vanilla and stir until combined. Let sit 5-10 minutes to thicken.
