Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

With a spoonacular score of 17%, this dish is rather bad. Similar recipes are Caramel Macchiato Chocolate Cake, Caramel Macchiato Chocolate Cake, and Caramel Macchiato Gooey Cake Bars.

Dessert works really well with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.

Instructions

  3. Make caramel: In a small saucepan over medium low heat, add all ingredients. Stir and cook until a dark golden brown color, stirring frequently so it does not burn. Remove from heat when finished.
  4. Make frosting: Add gelatin and cold water to a small dish. Stir. In a small saucepan, add 4 TBSP of cream and cook until just simmering. Once simmering, remove and add to gelatin. Stir and place in fridge to let set, about 10 minutes. Whip with a whisk until smooth.
  5. In a stand mixer, add the remaining cream and sugar. and whip with whisk attachment at medium high speed until soft peaks form, it will take a few minutes.
  6. Add gelatin mixture and whip again until frosting becomes thick and stiffer peaks form, it should only take about 30 seconds more to achieve desired fluffiness. Do no over mix. Place in fridge until ready to use.
  7. Assemble cake: On a cake stand or tray, place first layer of cake. Add 1 cup whip cream and spread evenly over cake. Add next layer of cake. Gently press down. Add another layer of whipped cream. Place top layer of cake. Press down gently. Place in fridge for 5 minutes to let frosting set.
  8. Add the caramel to the top layer. Pour in the middle and let drip down the sides. If needed, use a spoon to drag caramel off the sides as desired. Place in fridge for 10 minutes to let caramel set Add final layer of whipped cream to top and spread evenly on top.
