Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want to make sure it’s nice and hot when your cake goes in. Next, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. I whisk everything together until it’s well blended and a bit frothy, and oh my goodness, the aroma of the vanilla is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
