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
  • 2 tbsp 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 line two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with coffee and milk. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
  5. For the buttercream, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, coffee, and vanilla, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Assemble the cake by spreading caramel sauce between layers. Frost the entire cake with coffee buttercream. Drizzle with additional caramel if desired.
