This Caramel Vanilla Latte Cake recipe has the perfect balance of caramel, vanilla, and espresso!

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 small jar Caramel Sauce (*This isn't used until assembly of cake)
1 1/2 sticks (169g) unsalted butter, softened slightly
1 cup (200g) sugar
1/2 cup (108g) brown sugar (firmly pack the brown sugar into the cup)
4 large eggs, room temperature ( if cold, the eggs can be placed in a bowl with warm water for a few minutes)
2 3/4 cups (312g) cake flour **(if you do not have cake flour see substitution below)
1 teaspoon (6g) salt
2 1/2 teaspoons (12g) baking powder
1 cup (242g) milk
1 Tablespoon (4g) instant espresso powder (or instant coffee granules) dissolved in 1 Tablespoon hot water
2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract
1/4 cup (53g) vegetable oil
2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
6 cups (690g) powdered sugar
2 teaspoons ( 4g ) instant espresso powder (or coffee granules) dissolved in 2 teaspoons hot water
2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (80g) heavy cream, more if needed to reach desired spreading consistency
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt to cut sweetness (optional) popcorn salt will dissolve more easily because of its fine grain
Cinnamon (optional) Add a sprinkle of cinnamon over the top of cake if desired.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8 inch round cake pans. Place a circle of parchment paper or wax paper in the bottom of each pan.
  • In a medium bowl, add the milk, coffee, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, cream the softened butter. Slowly add the sugar and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes until lightened in color and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time,mixing after each until the yellow streaks are blended in.
  • Add the dry ingredients alternately with the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with dry ingredients (3 additions of dry and 2 of wet). Do not over mix.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes. It is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Let cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes then turn out.
  • The recipe makes 6 1/2 cups of batter
  • Works well for cupcakes, the cupcakes will have a very slight dome
  • In the bowl of your mixer, mix the softened butter until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar along with the cream, vanilla, salt and espresso.
  • Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes (longer if using a hand mixer) adding more liquid if needed to reach desired spreading consistency.
  • Reduce speed of mixer to low and mix 3 minutes or more until the buttercream is creamy and smooth.
  • Place the first cake layer onto your pedestal or cake base. Pipe a dam of buttercream around the layer. Spread a thin layer of caramel. Follow with the Vanilla Latte Buttercream filling. Add another cake layer & repeat.
  • Frost the cake as desired with Vanilla Latte Buttercream. Drizzle caramel around edges and top. (I used a piping bag with the end snipped away for the caramel drizzle.)
  • If you wish, you can apply Vanilla Buttercream stars around the top edge. (I did so with an Ateco 863)

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 31

3 carrots
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
3 tablespoons hot water
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs, room temperature
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup cold brew coffee
1 ¼ cups Fisher® Chef's Naturals Walnut Halves & Pieces, finely chopped
3 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons hot water
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
4 ½ cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals Walnut Halves & Pieces
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and grease with butter spray.
  • Make the carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the instant espresso powder and hot water until the granules dissolve. Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, beating on low speed between each addition until incorporated.
  • Add the coconut oil and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until fluffy.
  • Add the cooled instant espresso and cold brew and beat on low speed until smooth.
  • Fold in the carrots and Fisher Walnuts until evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, make the vanilla latte buttercream frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the instant espresso powder and hot water until the granules dissolve. Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add half of the powdered sugar at a time, beating on low speed between each addition until just incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla, salt, and cooled instant espresso, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the spiced candied walnuts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter and sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until light brown in color, about 3 minutes. Add the Fisher Walnuts and toss until fully coated. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture over the walnuts and toss until evenly coated.
  • Spread the candied walnuts on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer and let cool completely, 10 minutes.
  • To frost, place the tip of the piping bag at an angle at the edge of each cupcake and squeeze, rotating the cupcake and working toward the center, until covered in frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Top each cupcake with a few candied walnuts.
  • Enjoy!
