  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until well risen and the tops of the sponge springs back when lightly pressed with a finger. Leave to cool in the tins for a few minutes then turn out, peel off the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack.

Icing

  • Beat the butter until it is smooth and a pale yellow colour. Add in the Icing Sugar 1/3 at a time, making sure the sugar is fully incorporated after each addition and once all the sugar is added then add the salted caramel extracted then whisk again until its all fully incorporated.
