Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup strong brewed espresso (cooled)
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup caramel sauce (divided)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch baking pan.
Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in espresso, sour cream (or yogurt), and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour half the batter into the pan and spread half the caramel sauce over it.
Add the remaining batter on top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until set but still moist in the center.
Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over the warm cake before serving.
Notes
Use strong espresso for a deeper coffee flavor.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake soft and tender.
Slightly warm caramel spreads more easily and enhances the “gooey” texture.
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing for best texture.
