How to Make Caramel Biscuit Layered Dessert Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in crushed biscuits. Sift in flour, baking powder, and spices, mixing just until combined.

Step 2: Bake the Layers

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, then carefully slice the cake horizontally into two even layers.

Step 3: Make the Vanilla Cream Filling

In a saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and let cool.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

Place one cake layer back into the dish. Spread the vanilla cream evenly over the top. Gently place the second cake layer on top.

Step 5: Add the Caramel Topping

Warm the caramel sauce slightly so it pours easily. Spread over the top layer and sprinkle with crushed biscuits or nuts.

Step 6: Chill and Set

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing. Trust me—this wait is worth it!
