  for caramel

 Method

  step 1 : preparation of caramel

• heat the sugar on medium flame
• no need to stir it, instead swirl the pan in between to ensure uniform caramelising
• let the caramel get a really dark shade, to the bitter side
• when it is done add in 1/4 cup of hot water to dissolve the caramel
• do not use cold water as it will take long time to dissolve the caramel
• remove from fire and let it cool completely

  step 2 : preparation of batter

• prepare the cake tin ( grease with butter, then sprinkle some flour, and remove the excess flour) ; alternatively you can use butter paper 
• add baking soda and salt into the flour and sift 2 -3 times

• add 1 tbs flour into the carrot, dates and cashew ( it will prevent them from sinking into the bottom of the pan). Add this into the cake batter and combine well
• pour the batter into the prepared tin and tap 2-3 times

  step 3 : baking

• bake in a preheated oven for 35- 45 minutes at 180 degree C or until a toothpick inserted came out clean

• then cut it and serve
