Necessary ingredients
*For the base:*
- 1 egg
- 100 g sugar
- 100 ml milk
- 100 g flour
- 1.2 g baking powder (about 1/3 teaspoon)
- 2-3 tablespoons cocoa (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon rum essence
*For the caramel:*
- 6 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 800 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon rum essence
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
*For the syrup:*
- 6 tablespoons sugar
Step by step for a perfect cake
1. Preparing the base: Start by cracking the egg into a large bowl. Use a mixer to beat it well, gradually adding the sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Add the melted butter and milk, gently mixing until combined.
2. Adding dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder and cocoa. This technique not only eliminates lumps but also encourages the flour to aerate, ensuring a fluffy base. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Don’t overmix, just enough to combine the ingredients.
3. Preparing the caramel: In another pot, beat the eggs with the sugar until smooth. Add the milk, salt, and rum essence, mixing well. This mixture will add a rich caramel note.
4. Caramelizing the sugar: In a pan, caramelize the 6 tablespoons of sugar until golden. Be careful not to burn the sugar, as the bitter taste can ruin the dessert. Once caramelized, let it cool slightly, then slowly pour in the egg and milk mixture. Gently stir to integrate the burnt sugar.
5. Combining the layers: In a baking dish, pour in the caramel mixture, then carefully add the base mixture on top. This will create delicious layers.
6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and place the dish inside. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. Check if it's done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is perfect.
7. Cooling and serving: Once the cake is done, let it cool completely in the dish. Then, turn it out onto a plate. It is essential to let it cool completely to prevent the layers from breaking. You can decorate the cake with whipped cream, grated chocolate, or fresh fruits for a more appealing look.
Tips and useful advice
- Sugar in syrup: Next time, you can add 2-3 extra tablespoons to the burnt sugar syrup for a more intense caramel flavor. This will enrich the overall aroma of the cake.
- Rum essence: If you want a stronger flavor, you can replace the rum essence with a high-quality rum liqueur, but use it sparingly so as not to overwhelm the other flavors.
- Serving: The cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce for a delicious contrast.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I replace the milk with a plant-based alternative?
Yes, you can use almond or soy milk. This may slightly change the flavor but will make the cake more vegan-friendly.
2. How can I store the cake?
The cake stores well in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. I recommend serving it at room temperature for optimal flavor.
