For the Cake

  • 0.5 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Omit if you are using buttermilk.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt tin with unsalted butter, dust with flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Sift together.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: coffee creamer, unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
  4. Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients, beating for about 3 minutes until you achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 50–55 minutes. Check doneness with a skewer.
  6. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes, then pierce and drizzle caramel butter over it while still warm.
  7. Make the salted caramel topping by boiling sugar and water, then stir in cream and butter. Drizzle over the cake once cooled.
