Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan. Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg for even distribution.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar until fluffy and light in color to build a tender crumb and caramel sweetness.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated to maintain batter lightness.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently to avoid overworking.
  6. Swirl in Caramel Sauce: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of caramel sauce over it and gently swirl with a knife or skewer to create ribbons.
  7. Bake and Cool: Pour remaining batter on top. Bake 35–45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality caramel sauce for authentic richness.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep cake light and tender.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  • Check doneness starting at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow cake to cool fully before slicing for best texture and flavor.
