Step 2: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 3: Mix the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Add in the eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and milk.
Mix until smooth and creamy — the batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes after baking.
Step 5: Make the Gooey Topping
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter.
Heat on medium, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
Once glossy and smooth, remove it from the heat.
Step 6: Pour and Set
Pour the warm gooey topping over the cake.
Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Let the cake cool slightly — the topping will soak in beautifully, creating a sticky, irresistible finish.
Step 7: Slice and Enjoy
Serve the cake warm for maximum gooeyness! Pair it with vanilla ice cream or a cup of coffee for the ultimate treat.
Result:
A soft, buttery cake with a luscious, caramel-like topping that melts into every bite. One taste and your family will understand why you can’t stop making it! 💛
