Irresistible Caramel Coffee Buttercream Cake

A decadent cake with layers of moist coffee-infused sponge, rich caramel, and smooth coffee buttercream.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened (for buttercream)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled (for buttercream)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for buttercream)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with the coffee and milk.
  4. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. For the buttercream, beat 1 1/2 cups butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, coffee, and vanilla, beating until smooth.
  6. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the caramel sauce over it, then top with a layer of buttercream. Repeat with the second layer.
  7. Frost the outside of the cake with remaining buttercream. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
