📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare banana cake as directed and let cool completely. Meanwhile prepare the caramel sauce.

For the caramel sauce: have all caramel ingredients ready. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water and sea salt.

Immediately whisk in butter then remove from heat and whisk in cream (be careful, it will steam! A long handled whisk is recommend) and stir until smooth.

Allow to cool several minutes then pour into a glass bowl or jar and chill caramel until completely cooled.
