Ingredients

To create this delightful masterpiece, gather the following ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Layer

16 oz cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream

For the Roll

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brewed strong coffee (cooled)

For the Caramel Drizzle

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
A pinch of sea salt (to elevate that flavor)

Steps to Create Your Caramel Macchiato Roll Cheesecake Cake

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s the perfect temperature to get that delightful cake baking.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently to keep the air in. Lastly, fold in the sour cream. Set aside this velvety happiness.
Make the Cake Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and cooled coffee. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Assemble the Layers: Grease a baking pan and pour in about half of the cake batter, smoothing it out evenly. Top with your cheesecake mixture, and then pour the remaining cake batter on top. Swirl it with a knife to get a nice marbled effect—this is where the magic happens!
Bake: Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The aroma wafting from your kitchen will be an early sign of the decadence that awaits!
Cool and Roll: Once baked, cool the cake completely. Then, carefully roll it up from one end, like a cinnamon roll, and let it sit to set for about 30 minutes.
Drizzle that Caramel: Unroll your cake gently, pour on the caramel sauce, and sprinkle a little sea salt. Roll it back up—seriously, that’s how easy it is!
Slice and Serve: Once set, slice your masterpiece into generous pieces and serve. Try not to eat them all at once—it’s tough, I know!

Cooking Tips

Don’t Overmix: When mixing the cheesecake batter, be gentle. We want that airiness that makes for a soft, creamy texture.
Coffee Boost: If you’re feeling adventurous, add a splash of espresso in the cheesecake layer for an extra kick. Your taste buds will thank you!
Sea Salt Magic: A little pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle can elevate the flavor to pure bliss. I promise, you’re not just sprinkling salt; you’re creating a masterpiece!
