Ingredients
  

For the traybake
  • 200 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 250 g golden syrup
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 150 g plain flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
For the topping
  • 100 g sea salt caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • Extra salt flakes for topping, if desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a saucepan of simmering water and let cool slightly.
  4. In another large bowl, whisk together caster sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently until combined.
  6. Sift in plain flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold in carefully.
  7. Add the golden syrup and fold until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Finishing Touch
  1. Allow the traybake to cool slightly, then drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top.
  2. Cool completely and sprinkle with extra sea salt flakes if desired.
  3. Remove from tray and cut into squares or rectangles.

Notes

Serve at room temperature, ideal with vanilla ice cream or alongside tea and coffee. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
