- Pour sugar and water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Put on medium heat, and stir until the sugar turns golden. It is important not to overcook the caramel, it will have a burnt flavor.
- Pour the cream into the hot caramel, stirring at the same time. The mixture will be very hot – this is normal.
- When the mass stops foaming, add butter and a pinch of salt - stir to melt the butter, and then send it back to the stove and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the desired consistency. The caramel should be thick and viscous.
- To check the readiness of the caramel, pour a few drops of it on any surface – it should drip off slowly.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Remove the cooled cake from the mold and pour over the cooled caramel.
- Sprinkle with roasted peanuts and refrigerate for several hours.
