Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Sauce and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 jar caramel sauce (12.25 fluid ounces / 360 milliliters)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces / 410 milliliters)
- Chocolate sauce (for garnish)
Instructions
- Meticulously calibrate the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and lovingly coat a 9×13 inch baking vessel with a thin layer of grease and flour to guarantee effortless cake release.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, delicately combine the dry ingredients, whisking them together until perfectly integrated.
- Introduce the liquid components – eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla essence – to the dry mixture, employing an electric mixer to create a silky, homogeneous batter that transforms with each rotation.
- Gently incorporate the cooled coffee, allowing the liquid to cascade into the mixture and create a luxuriously fluid consistency.
- Transfer the gossamer batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to sculpt a perfectly even surface that promises uniform baking.
- Position the cake in the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for 35-40 minutes until a slender testing implement emerges pristine when inserted into the center.
- After removing the cake, permit it to rest and slightly contract, optionally smoothing the surface with a gentle press.
- Craft a luscious caramel fusion by blending caramel sauce with sweetened condensed milk until harmoniously combined.
- Once the cake has cooled, strategically perforate the surface using a wooden spoon’s handle, creating channels for the caramel to infiltrate.
- Lavishly cascade the caramel mixture across the cake, ensuring each carefully created hole becomes a conduit for sweet indulgence.
- Refrigerate the transformed dessert for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the caramel to permeate and intensify the cake’s character.
- Before presentation, embellish the surface with an artful drizzle of chocolate sauce, elevating the dessert to a truly magnificent finale.
Notes
- Refrigerate this indulgent dessert to let caramel deeply penetrate every delicious cake pore.
