Tips:

  • For a richer caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • To make the caramel swirls, simply drizzle the caramel over the batter in a random pattern. Then, use a toothpick or knife to swirl the caramel into the batter.
  • For a gooey center, bake the hunks for 20-25 minutes. For a more cake-like texture, bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the hunks cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help to prevent the caramel from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Caramel swirl hunks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their gooey caramel center and moist, cake-like texture, these hunks are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give caramel swirl hunks a try!
