- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
- Prepare the cake batter:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Add the coffee and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Bake the cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Make the caramel:
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, swirling it gently until it turns into a golden amber color.
- Add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
- Gradually pour in the cream while stirring constantly (it will bubble up). If desired, add a teaspoon of coffee for a richer taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the caramel thickens.
- Assemble the cake:
- Once the cake is cooled, pour the warm caramel sauce over the top.
- Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes before serving.
