  3. For the salted caramel sauce put caster sugar in a pan at medium heat and stir until it becomes a brown liquid consistency. Turn off the heat and add the butter until melted.
  4. Add a sprinkle of salt and the cream. You can put this back on the heat on low, stir until it becomes a thicker consistency. Add the pecans to the sauce and mix. Let cool slightly and pour over cake.
