Description
Gooey Coffee Caramel Cake is a rich dessert that combines the flavors of coffee and caramel for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the cooled coffee, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Allow the caramel to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, poke holes all over the top with a toothpick or skewer. Pour the warm caramel sauce over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature, drizzled with any remaining caramel sauce.
