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
  • For Gooey Caramel Sauce:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional garnish: 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 together 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 and combine until just mixed.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
  7. To make Caramel Sauce: heat sugar over medium heat in a saucepan until melted and golden.
  8. Carefully add butter and stir until melted. Slowly whisk in heavy cream.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and sea salt. Let cool slightly.
  10. Poke small holes in the warm cake and pour caramel sauce over the top.
  11. Allow caramel to soak in, then garnish with whipped cream, coffee beans, chocolate shavings, or extra caramel drizzle as desired.

Notes

Use strong brewed coffee instead of instant espresso powder for a deeper coffee flavor. Allow caramel sauce to cool slightly before pouring to avoid melting the cake surface too much. The cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
