Notes
Let The Cake Rest After It Is Baked
Do not rush to flip the cake over right out of the oven. It is best to allow the cake to sit for 10 minutes to all the caramel to thicken up and make it easier to flip over Best Enjoyed Warm
This cake is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven and warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! I would not recommend storing or freezing this cake.
