Caramel Vanilla Latte Cake Recipes

CARAMEL VANILLA LATTE CAKE RECIPE

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)
