Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Start by *creaming the butter* with powdered sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Next, introduce the *eggs one by one*, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Once the eggs are mixed in, turn off the mixer and gently fold in the *sifted flour* along with baking powder until just combined.

Pour the batter into a *prepared cake pan* (26 cm or 10.5 inches) lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Place the cake in a preheated oven at *180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)* and bake for 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when the cake is done.

Once baked, remove the cake and let it cool slightly. Use a wooden stick to *poke holes* all over the surface while the cake is still warm.

Step 3

Prepare the Syrup

While the cake is cooling, combine the *milk, cream,* and *caramel sweetened condensed milk* in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Soak the Cake

Once the syrup is ready, pour it over the poked cake in *stages*, allowing it to absorb the syrup before adding more. This ensures a moist and flavorful result.

After all the syrup has been added, cover the cake and *refrigerate overnight* to let the flavors meld and the cake to set properly.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Before serving, drizzle with *extra caramel* and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Slice the cake, serve it to your guests, and get ready to enjoy every delicious bite!

Faq

    A: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or have a few moist crumbs attached when it's ready.

  • Q: Can I make this pie ahead of time?

    A: Absolutely! You can bake the pie a day in advance. Just store it covered in the refrigerator and add the caramel on top right before serving.

  • Q: What are some tips for achieving a creamy texture in the filling?

    A: Make sure your butter is at room temperature and whip the mixture until light and fluffy. Moreover, ensure that all ingredients are well combined without overmixing.

  • Q: Can I add other flavors to the pie?

    A: Yes! Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth, or even a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.

  • Q: Is it possible to freeze the pie?
