If you're a coffee lover, this Caramel Latte Cake is the perfect dessert for you! With a rich and indulgent flavor, this cake is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and caffeine cravings at the same time. The recipe starts with a classic yellow cake mix, but the addition of instant espresso coffee granules and melted butter takes it to a whole new level. The warm water helps to dissolve the coffee granules, infusing the cake with a deep, rich flavor. The eggs and butter add moisture and richness, creating a tender and fluffy cake base.

The real star of this recipe is the dulce de leche, a caramelized sweetened condensed milk that adds a creamy, caramel flavor. When combined with hot water, more espresso granules, and a touch of rum, it creates a decadent sauce that is poured over the cooled cake. The cake is then poked with a wooden spoon to allow the sauce to seep in, creating a moist and flavorful treat. After chilling, a whipped cream topping is added, providing a light and airy contrast to the rich cake and caramel sauce.

This cake is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a cozy night in or a special celebration. With its impressive flavor and beautiful presentation, it's sure to be a hit with coffee and dessert lovers alike. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to indulge in this delicious Caramel Latte Cake!
