Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 400 g granulated sugar
- 75 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 120 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 ml boiling water
- 115 g unsalted butter (for the glaze)
- 200 g brown sugar
- 120 ml heavy cream
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a large baking sheet (approximately 33 x 23 cm).
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in sea salt to taste. Allow the glaze to cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled cake.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the caramel glaze evenly over the top.
Notes
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- For freezing, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to three months.
