Step 4: Pour and Broil
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke small holes on top with a fork. Pour the hot gooey topping over the warm cake, letting it seep in.
Place it under the oven broiler for 1–2 minutes, just until the top bubbles and caramelizes slightly — keep a close eye on it, it happens fast!
Step 5: Serve and Fall in Love
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before slicing. The inside stays soft and buttery, while the top forms a shiny, sticky layer of sweetness.
It’s perfect on its own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to another level.
Final Thoughts
This cake may have started as an experiment, but now it’s a family favorite. The secret is the gooey topping — rich, buttery, and irresistibly caramel-like. It turns a simple cake into something extraordinary.
Try it once, and don’t be surprised if your family starts requesting it every weekend — just like mine does.
