Little Caramel Cakes by Elizabeth Child
“Failsafe, easy and delicious. Great for Freezing for lunchboxes.
Can be made as one big cake but I prefer individual portions.”

Preheat oven to 180℃
Cake
380g can top n fill caramel (reserve 1/4 cup for the icing)

1/2 cup icing sugar
3/4 cup of oats
Melt butter and top n fill in a pan until melted and smooth
Set aside and leave to cool for a bit (I made icing and prepped oven etc in this time)

Icing
300g white sugar
1/4 cup top n fill caramel
25g butter
Place sugar into a clean and dry Thermomix bowl. Mill for 1 minute on speed 10. Place bowl into the fridge to cool down after milling for 10 minutes.
Add caramel and butter into bowl and mix on for 40 seconds on speed 3 to combine or until smooth. Ice cooled cakes and enjoy.
Hints: The icing is very thick, use a knife dipped in boiling water to help smooth and spread the icing.
To make the cup cakes GF, leave out the oats and add approx. 1 – 2 tablespoons extra flour.
If using a 12 hole muffin tray cook for approx. 20 minutes.
