    Bake 27 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Poke top of warm cake every 1/2 inch with handle of wooden spoon, wiping handle occasionally to reduce sticking. Reserve 1/2 cup caramel topping. Drizzle remaining caramel topping evenly over top of cake; let stand about 15 minutes or until caramel topping has been absorbed into cake. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Success Hint: Some caramel toppings are thicker and stickier than others. If the type you purchased is too thick to pour, warm it in the microwave just until it can be poured.
  • Tip 2
    Success Hint: This ooey-gooey, very rich cake needs to be joined by only a glass of milk or a cup of steaming coffee.
