How to Make Patty's Cake With Espresso Caramel Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Espresso Caramel Sauce:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup water. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color.
- Carefully pour in ½ cup heavy cream (be cautious as it will bubble up) and whisk until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the espresso caramel sauce over the top and let it drizzle down the sides. Serve and enjoy!
