Description

A moist and gooey cake infused with rich coffee flavor and swirled with luscious caramel, topped with a coffee glaze for the ultimate indulgence.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules (dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 23 tbsp strong brewed coffee (for glaze)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet mixture, alternating with milk and dissolved coffee, until smooth.
  6. Spread half the batter into prepared pan. Drizzle with caramel sauce and swirl lightly with a knife.
  7. Add remaining batter on top and repeat with more caramel drizzle.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool slightly before drizzling with extra caramel.
  10. For glaze: whisk powdered sugar with brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • Use salted caramel for a sweet and salty twist.
