Ingredients
- 450 g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 450 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 eggs
- 3 cups (450 g) plain flour
- ½ tsp salt flakes
For frying
- 100 g butter, softened
- 50 g dark brown sugar
Whipped sour cream
- 300 ml thickened cream
- 250 ml sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160˚C fan-forced. Grease and line a 24 cm round cake tin. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract for 5 minutes, or until thick and pale. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time until combined, scraping down the sides. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour and salt in thirds, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- For the whipped sour cream, combine the ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to a soft whipped cream consistency. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large, round nozzle.
- In a medium bowl, combine 100g softened butter and the dark brown sugar together. Cut the cake into slices and gently spread a thin layer of the butter mixture over the cut sides of the cake.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and fry the cake on the cut sides until the caramelised and browned. Serve with a generous amount of the whipped sour cream.
