Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste

1 cup buttermilk

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

½ cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for soak)

½ cup granulated sugar (for brûlée topping)

Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
  6. Divide batter evenly into pans, smoothing tops.
  7. Bake 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Mix condensed milk, water, and vanilla extract to make soak.
  10. Poke holes in cooled cakes with a skewer; pour half the soak over each layer.
  11. Refrigerate cakes for at least 2 hours to absorb soak fully.
  12. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over cake tops.
  13. Caramelize sugar using a kitchen torch until golden and crackly.
  14. Slice and serve immediately, garnishing with fresh fruit if desired.

Notes

Add citrus zest or almond extract to batter for flavor variation.

Layer with fresh berries or fruit preserves for added texture.

Use brown or coconut sugar for brûlée topping for different flavors.

Make mini cupcakes and brûlée individually for party servings.

Substitute with vegan ingredients for a dairy-free version.
