The Koffie Pot Inn Caramel Cake

My family used to own the Koffie Pot Inn in Dunedin, New Zealand. My mother used to get up early to bake one of these every Friday. It was one of the most popular cakes on sale and it was rare for any to be left over. The recipe is taken from a handwritten note. I assume the baking time is 40-60 minutes.
