Yields16 Squares
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup cake flour
- 2 oz butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup cashew, chopped, toasted
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 oz butter
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour, butter, brown sugar in a large bowl. Use your hands to break the butter into the flour until they’re evenly distributed and resemble the size of small peas.
-
Add egg into the flour mixture and stir until even.
-
Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish and place the base mixture in. Flatten the base with the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes until the base turns golden.
-
While baking the base, prepare for the honey cashew topping. First, chop the cashew. Then place brown sugar, honey, butter and whipping cream in a saucepan.
-
When the baking is done, take out the base from your oven and let it cool down. Bring everything in the saucepan to a boil and then simmer for 3-4 minutes, uncovered, or until the color of the honey mixture turns caramel. Turn off the heat and quickly stir in the chopped cashew.
-
Slowly place the honey cashew topping on top of the base in the same baking dish. Use the back of a big spoon to flat it out.
