Copycat Cake Batter Latte Recipe
Do you lick the spoon after making cakes? Do you love the smell of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs?
Then you have to make this iced cake batter latte.
It’s such a fun way to add a little something sweet to your mid-morning iced coffee. And you can even make it hot if you’d prefer!
Ingredients
You’ll need to start this by making cake batter coffee syrup. I recommend making a double batch and keeping it in the fridge. Then you can make this iced latte any time you like!
For the syrup:
- Water - the base of the syrup that’ll thicken as you simmer it with sugar
- Sugar - use brown sugar for a deeper flavor or white sugar for added sweetness
- Cake Batter Extract - Look for the Cake Batter Extract online. Or try a mix of vanilla paste, almond extract, and butter.
For the latte:
- Espresso or Cold Brew - I prefer cold brew because it’s already chilled and very smooth. But if you have enough ice, you can always used freshly brewed coffee
- Milk - use whatever milk you like, just keep in mind that coconut milk (for example) will affect the taste of the coffee
- Ice - try making ice out of cold brew! It’ll keep the drink cold without watering it down.
How to Make Cake Batter Latte
Make a double batch of the cake batter syrup then store it in the fridge. That should last a week or two depending on how sweet you like it!
For the Syrup:
- Add the water to a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add the sugar and cake batter extract, then stir.
- Bring the water to a low simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Strain and store in an airtight container.
For the Latte:
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Add your desired amount of syrup to the glass then pour over the coffee.
- Top up each glass with milk.
- Serve and enjoy!
