A spoonful of this caramel sauce by food blogger Naomi Robinson of Bakers Royale lends a decadent touch to her Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake, but you may want to keep it on hand for topping ice cream as well.

This recipe goes with: Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake with Whiskey Caramel Sauce

 1 cup sugar
 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  Pinch of fine sea salt
 2 tablespoons whiskey*
Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook sugar, lifting, swirling, and tipping pan often, until it melts, turns deep amber, and begins to smoke, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully pour in whipping cream (sugar will seize up), along with butter and salt.
