How to Make Delicate Cake with Caramel and Coffee Cream

Ingredients:

Flour – 320 g
Baking powder – 1.5 tsp
Soda – 0.5 tsp
Salt – 0.5 tsp
Softened butter – 225 g
Sugar – 300 g
Brown sugar – 100 g
Eggs – 3 pcs
Vanilla extract – 2 tsp
Milk – 240 ml
Chilled strong coffee – 120 ml
Caramel sauce – 160 g
Powdered sugar – 125 g
Chilled strong coffee – 2 tbsp
Caramel sauce – 80 g
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Sugar – 200 g
Butter – 150 g
Cream – 125 ml (fat content 22-35%)

Directions:

Begin by beating the softened butter with the sugar in a large bowl. Once creamy, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Next, add the flour, milk, and chilled coffee to the mixture. Blend everything until smooth.
Preheat your oven to 175 °C and prepare three 20 cm molds. Pour the batter evenly into the molds and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the caramel sauce. In a ladle over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns amber. Add chopped butter and stir until it dissolves. Gradually pour in warmed cream and stir until smooth. Let it cool down.
For the cream, beat the butter in a separate bowl, then add sugar, coffee, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth cream.
To assemble the cake, place one biscuit layer on a plate. Spread some caramel sauce on top and add a layer of your butter cream. Repeat this with the remaining layers. If you like, you can decorate the top with extra cream and crumbs from the cake.
