4. Add your dry ingredients to your wet and fold until combined.

6. Bake on 350F for 45 minutes. Allow this to cool for at least 90 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
7. Start by adding your butter and sugar to a small sauce pan on medium heat. Allow this to melt and come together for 5 minutes.
8. Slowly add in your heavy cream until a thick caramel forms. This only takes about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a clean bowl.
