In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sugars over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Tip: Avoid burning the sugar by not leaving it unattended.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salted caramel sauce until well combined.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the flour, baking powder, and milk.
Tip: Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated before adding the dry ingredients.

Stir in the vanilla extract and nuts until just combined.
