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
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for caramel)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (for caramel)
  • 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 with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and egg until light and fluffy. Add cooled brewed coffee, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. For the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until simmering, then simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and brewed coffee. Let it cool slightly.
  8. Once the cake is cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over the top, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.

Notes

For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts on top before adding the caramel sauce.
