About 8 cups of batter are made this way.It should cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before being taken out and put on a wire rack.

Brown sugar, condensed milk and light corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring regularly to avoid scorching. Keep mixture off pan sides. Burns easily, so be careful.

When the mixture is almost boiling, turn the heat down to low and let it cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Mix a lot. It's time to take it off the heat and add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt.

Pour it into a heat-safe bowl after it has cooled down a bit. Remember that it will get thicker as it cools down. You can put it in the fridge to cool it down faster.

We used a throwaway piping bag with the tip cut off to add the caramel drip. You could also just spoon it over the cake or use a ziplock bag with a small piece cut off the corner.

On top of the caramel drip, we sprinkled pecans that had been chopped both finely and coarsely.
