Caramel Mud Cake

Ingredients
250g unsalted butter, chopped
200g white chocolate, chopped
2 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs, beaten lightly
2 cups flour
2/3 cup self raising flour
Frosting...
125g butter, chopped
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar, maybe more


To make...
Preheat oven to 300F. Grease and line the base and side of a round cake pan. 
Combine the butter, chocolate, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan, whisk over low heat until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool for 15 minutes.
Whisk in vanilla and eggs, then combine sifted flours. Pour mixture into cake pan and bake in oven for about 2 hours. Cover cake loosely with foil if its over browning. 
Cool the cake in the pan covered with a clean tea towel.
To make frosting...
Melt the butter in a small ban, stir in the brown sugar and milk then bring to a boil.  Cook, stirring for about 3 minutes, cool completely. Stir in enough sifted icing sugar to give a smooth spreading consistency. Spread completely cooled cake with caramel frosting.
