Caramel cake help

5 replies

Bumperlicious · 12/06/2010 19:04

Ok, the background is I am making a Diego cake for DD, which is probably just going to be Diego's head (a round cake, then a bit extra for hair).

He will need to be a caramel colour, not sure if you can get that sort of food colouring, but I have a recipe in a BBC good food book for a choca mocca caramel cake. I wouldn't put coffee in it (yuk!) but could do the rest. But the recipe calls for chocolate 'caramel bars' (2x50g bars for the cake a 2 for the icing). I'm not sure exactly what that means though, does it mean like a cadbury's caramel, or more like a caramac (where the hell can I get these from nowadays?)?

A colleague at work bought in a yummy caramel type cake which IIRC was made with milky ways (or maybe mars bars) anyone tried anything similar?

Any help appreciated

Actually just found the recipe online here and from the comments looks like it's caramel as in cadbury's caramel.

Thanks for the replies.

I've made this a few times and it is Cadbury's caramel bars and it is one of the most delicious cakes in my repertoire. Gets masses of compliments every time. I just used a smidgen of coffee, cuts the richness a little bit.
