Instructions
Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, and honey and bring over medium heat to a simmer. Whisking continuously, cook for about 5-10 minutes until it has thickened up and coats the back of a spoon but is still liquid. Remove saucepan from the heat. The caramel will thicken as it cools.
With a heatproof cup scoop out 1/2 cup (160g) of caramel sauce and transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature (you need this for the cream cheese frosting later). Let the rest of the caramel sauce cool to room temperature until your cake is ready for serving.
