When the bubbles become very small, turn the heat to a low heat and cook slowly, stirring constantly
4.
Boil until almost no bubbling and the syrup appears light amber color. Turn off the heat
5.
Pour into a 6-inch solid-bottom cake mold. During the pouring process, if the room temperature is lower, the caramel sauce is easier to solidify. At this time, just heat it up slightly. Let the caramel sauce spread on the bottom of the mold and cool until it solidifies
6.

Tips:
1: When cooking the caramel sauce, you can use medium heat at the beginning, and when the syrup starts to bubble, you must use a low heat and keep stirring until it is light amber.
2: When the caramel sauce is poured into the mold, it is easy to solidify and not easy to pour out. You can put the pot back on the fire and heat it until it melts and then pour it into the mold.
3: When the cake is unmolded, when the sauce cake mold is heated on the fire, you can hold the cake with your hand and gently rotate it. If it feels slippery and easy to rotate, it means that the caramel can be easily demolded by the mechanism of melting.
