This meant I needed to make a batch of my caramel drizzle recipe!!

I use this caramel drizzle recipe to make my caramel frosting and caramel drips on my cakes! It’s super versatile and can be used in so many different ways.

I actually struggled naming this post because it’s so versatile! This recipe can be used for everything from adding caramel drips to cakes to filling macarons.

Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Salted Penuche Frosting

I know that making caramel sauce from scratch can seem intimidating if you’ve never tried it before. When I was a kid, I remember seeing caramel made in giant copper kettles at candy stores.

I was convinced it was some complicated process that must require all kinds of special equipment. But it doesn’t have to be complicated!

My caramel drizzle recipe can be made without a candy thermometer and uses just four ingredients. Did I mention a batch comes together in about 5 minutes?? It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Best Ever Chocolate Bundt Cake With Caramel Icing

My biggest tip when doing this is to add the sugar in gradually. I add about a quarter of a cup at a time.

This helps the sugar liquify more quickly and reduces the risk of big clumps forming. It makes a world of a difference.

I didn’t know to do that when I first started making caramel and I used to just dump it all in at once.

Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze Recipe

The caramel will still turn out if you add all the sugar at once, but it takes a lot longer to melt down and is less smooth.

While this caramel drizzle recipe doesn’t use a ton of ingredients, you might not have them all on hand. Or if you have food allergies or restrictions, I’ve got you covered.

This caramel drizzle is the perfect thickness for drizzling over ice cream, adding caramel drips to a cake, or even filling cakes and cupcakes!

I use this caramel recipe to make the salted caramel frosting in my caramel macarons and it’s one of my favorite flavors.

I like to pour my caramel in a squirt bottle (to drizzle over cakes) but you can also store it in an airtight container like a mason jar or Tupperware container.

Brown Sugar Pound Cake With Salted Caramel Glaze

Made this over the weekend, and it was a smashing success! Everyone loved the density of the cake and the not sick-enly sweet frosting!

It does not set super firmly at room temperature, so it's probably not the best to drizzle on chocolate pretzels! My thick caramel recipe sets more firmly though, here's the link: https:///caramel-filling/

It makes a LOT of caramel though, you can cut the recipe in half if you want. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Caramel Mirror Glaze For Entremets Cakes

I highly recommend freezing the cake before adding on a caramel drizzle. The cake itself doesn't need to be fully frozen, but you want the frosting to be firm to the touch. One more tip - this caramel runs pretty far when used as a drip, so make the drips shorter than you actually want them. They will end up running down further as they set. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Don’t you need water with the sugar in the pot? The recipe reads as though you just put dry sugar into the pot? Is that accurate?

This recipe doesn't use any water! Some caramel recipes do use water, but not this one. You do gradually add the granulated sugar to the pot, and it slowly melts down. It takes a bit of time but works well and makes delicious caramel :) Hope that helps, happy baking!

Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake With Caramel

I just made it... AMAZING! LOVE IT! Perfect! It's my first time making it. It is so easy and cooks quickly! One piece of advice: get all the ingredients, measure them, put them next to you, slowly follow the recipe, and cook it!
