Chocolate Cake with Caramel Frosting
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
Forget boxed cake mix! This chocolate cake with caramel frosting comes together really fast, and you don't need any...
- FOR THE CAKE:
- (makes 28 cupcakes, and reduce baking time to approximately 20 minutes)
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup black coffee, cooled (I used a dark roast coffee. You can't taste the coffee, but the chocolate is deeper in flavor and richness with this ingredient)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 tablespoon lemon juice with milk to equal 1 cup; or 1 tablespoon vinegar with milk to equal 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup canola (or vegetable) oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- CARAMEL SYRUP:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup water
- CARAMEL FROSTING:
- 12 tablespoons (that's 1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 6 cups powdered sugar*
- 4 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream (I used 4 tablespoons)**
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tablespoons caramel syrup (I used 2 tablespoons; recipe below)
- Pinch kosher salt (important... salted caramels are the food rage, these days)
