Step 1: Bake the Sponge Cake

  3. Pour onto a parchment-lined tray and let it cool until hard.
  4. Once set, crush it into small crunchy bits.

Step 4: Make the Caramel Drizzle

  2. Slowly add cream and mix until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

  2. Add the second cake layer on top.
  3. Drizzle caramel sauce over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
