  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 2 tsp baking powder Helps the cake rise perfectly.
  • 0.5 tsp salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 0.5 cups caramel sauce Adds a delicious layer of richness.
  • 1.5 cups unsalted butter, softened (for buttercream) Creates a creamy texture for frosting.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then add cooled brewed coffee and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
