1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup light brown sugar
1.5 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, oil, buttermilk, sour cream, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and boiling water; blend until smooth.
Divide batter between pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For the frosting: Melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in butter and warmed heavy cream; add salt and vanilla.
Once cakes are cool, layer with frosting between cakes and cover top and sides with remaining frosting. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
