Coffee Caramel Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
3. Add the eggs, brewed coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Finish by drizzling the rest of the caramel sauce over the top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!

Notes:

• This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the amount of brewed coffee in the batter or caramel sauce.
• Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor contrast.
