Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup salted caramel coffee creamer
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

For the Butter Sauce:

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons salted caramel coffee creamer
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Topping:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar together.
  • Add butter, vanilla, and eggs. 
  • Pour in the coffee creamer. Beat well. 
  • Transfer batter into a greased 10-inch bundt pan.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Just before cake is done, preparing your butter sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Combine sugar, butter, coffee creamer, and vanilla.  Whisk often until everything is well-blended and mixture comes to a slow boil.
  • When cake is done, remove it from the oven and poke holes into it.
  • Pour butter sauce over top, allowing it to soak into the cake.
  • Let cake cool completely.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake right before serving.

Notes

  • To store, place your cake into an airtight container and keep at room temperature or place in the fridge for up to five days. 
  • To freeze, tightly wrap your unfrosted cake into plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place into a freezer bag. It will keep for about six months in the freezer. 
  • Try topping your cake with whipped cream, powdered sugar, sliced fruit and pair it with ice cream.
