Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed (for caramel sauce)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for caramel sauce)
  • Pinch of salt (for caramel sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (for caramel sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and egg together until light and fluffy. Then, add the cooled brewed coffee, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the cake cools, prepare the caramel sauce. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, then continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and brewed coffee until well blended.
  8. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened for easy mixing. For the best flavor, use freshly brewed coffee.
