Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare the ice cream base by whisking together the cream, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Tip: Be careful not to scald the mixture.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the caramel sauce and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Tip: This step is crucial for the smoothness of the ice cream.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Add the unsalted butter and mix until well combined.

Add the ice cream mix to the egg mixture and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Tip: This will help the ice cream mix incorporate evenly.

Pour the ice cream batter into a prepared 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Tip: This will help the cake set properly.
