I am looking for a Scottish recipe for Carmel cake?!
This is a recipe for Caramel Shortbread which is also known as millionaires shortbread or caramel shortcake. In many ways it is more like a biscuit than a cake and definitely NOT bread-very much for those with a sweet tooth.
Caramel Shortbread
Ingredients:
4oz Butter
4oz caster Sugar
5oz self raising flour
Pinch of salt
Topping:
4oz Butter
4oz caster sugar
1 dessert spoon golden syrup
Small tin condensed milk
Method:
Set oven to 350F or mark4. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl, then mix in the flour and salt. Knead this mixture into a ball. Press the mixture into a greased shallow tin approx 11x7 inches and bake for 20 minutes.
For the topping, put all the topping ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Continue boiling until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and starts to change colour.
Pour the mixture over the shortbread, spreading out evenly and leave to cool.Cut into slices (fingers) and serve
Another option is, once previous mixture is cool, melt some chocolate and spread evenly over the caramel toffee. Then cut into fingers and serve as a biscuit.

Sweet and Salty Cake
Makes one 8-inch 3-layer cake
Ingredients
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sour cream
2 2/3 cups cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla
1/2 cup Caramel with Salt
Whipped Caramel Ganache Icing
Fleur de sel, for garnish (special salt)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter three 8-by-2-inch round cake pans. Line each pan with a parchment paper round, butter parchment paper and flour; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, 1 1/4 cups hot water, and sour cream; set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
In another large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and
shortening together until smooth and it appears to create strings inside the bowl, about 7 minutes. Add both sugars and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated. Add vanilla, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, and mix again for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture alternating with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Divide batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Bake until cake is just firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 18 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely.
Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Using about 1/4 cup of the caramel, spread a thin layer on the cake, allowing some of the caramel to soak into the cake. Follow the caramel layer with a layer of about 1 cup of the ganache icing. Place the second layer on top and repeat process with another layer of caramel followed by a layer of ganache icing. Place the remaining layer on top of the second layer bottom side up. Spread entire cake with remaining ganache icing. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
