Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder dissolved in ¼ cup hot water (or strong brewed coffee)
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (for caramel)
  • Pinch of sea salt (for caramel)
  • Optional: Whipped cream, coffee beans or chocolate shavings, extra drizzle of caramel

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and coffee.
  5. Mix in sour cream, then gradually add dry ingredients.
  6. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
  7. To make the caramel sauce: heat sugar over medium heat until melted and golden.
  8. Carefully add butter and stir until melted. Slowly whisk in cream.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool slightly.
  10. Poke small holes in the warm cake and pour caramel sauce over the top.
  11. Let the caramel soak in, then top with whipped cream or garnish as desired.

Notes

Use instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water for a strong coffee flavor. Poking holes in the warm cake allows the caramel to soak deeply for maximum gooeyness. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for added indulgence.
