Caramel Latte Cake

Ingredients

  • Indulge in a moist, coffee-infused sponge layered with luscious caramel sauce and a creamy caramel buttercream.
  • This cake is an aroma and flavor explosion! It's unbelievably soft—it practically dissolves on your tongue. If you adore Caramel Lattes, you've got to whip up this cake pronto.
  • Ingredients:
  • 12.7 ounces self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 7 ounces light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 3.5 ounces dairy-free yogurt
  • 3.5 ounces light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon caramel extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee / espresso
  • Caramel:
  • 5.3 ounces nut butter (peanut or almond work great!)
  • 2.1 ounces maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • Caramel buttercream:
  • 8 ounces dairy-free butter, room temperature
  • 14.8 ounces powdered sugar
  • 1.8 ounces caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C) Fan.
  2. Line and lightly grease three 6-inch baking tins.
  3. Mix milk, espresso, and vinegar—let it sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Once thickened, pour it into a large mixing bowl, then add the remaining wet ingredients.
  5. Using a sieve, sift in the dry ingredients.
  6. Gently mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the tins and bake for 20-25 mins (or until well risen and cooked through).
  8. While the sponge cools, prepare the caramel sauce and buttercream.
  9. Make the caramel by combining the ingredients.
  10. In a stand mixer bowl, cream the butter on medium-high until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes), scraping down the bowl and paddle occasionally. Gradually add the powdered sugar, scraping down the bowl and paddle between each addition. Then, add the caramel sauce. Mix on low until fully incorporated, around one minute.
  11. Layer the cakes with the frosting and caramel once they've cooled.
