Gooey Coffee Caramel Cake

Print Recipe

A rich dessert combining coffee flavor with a gooey caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and egg until light and fluffy. Add the brewed coffee, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture simmers. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla extract and salt. Set aside.

Notes

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Allow the cake to cool before adding the caramel sauce for better adhesion.
