Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1¾ cups all-purpose flour 
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
2 cups granulated sugar 
2 large eggs 
1½ teaspoons baking powder 
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Pinch of salt 
1 cup milk 
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled 
½ cup vegetable oil 
1 jar (12.25 oz) caramel sauce 
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
For Garnish:
Chocolate sauce
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
Stir in the cooled brewed coffee (the batter will be runny).
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, gently press the center to level it once slightly cooled.
Prepare the Caramel Mixture:
In a medium bowl, mix together the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Soak the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for maximum flavor.
Chill the Cake:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the cake to absorb the caramel.
Serve:
Before serving, drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for an extra touch of decadence.
Enjoy every bite of this Decadent Caramel Cake, a perfect blend of chocolatey goodness and sweet caramel!
