Birthday Cake Latte
This festive Birthday Cake Latte combines the rich flavors of espresso, vanilla, and sweet cream with a hint of cake batter for a delightful, dessert-like treat. Topped with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles, it’s the perfect way to celebrate any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso or 8 oz strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or plain creamer
- 1/2 teaspoon edible cake batter flavoring
- Whipped cream optional
- Rainbow sprinkles and cinnamon powder for topping
Instructions
- Steam the Milk: Heat the milk until frothy.
- Brew the Espresso: Prepare a shot of espresso or strong coffee and pour it into a mug.
- Mix in Flavors: Stir in vanilla syrup and cake batter flavoring.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the steamed milk over the coffee.
- Top it Off: Add whipped cream, drizzle with vanilla frosting syrup, and sprinkle with birthday sprinkles.
- Final Touch: Dust with cinnamon for a “cake crumb” effect. Serve immediately.
Notes
Swap vanilla syrup for sugar-free syrup. Double the cake batter flavoring for a richer taste. Use oat, almond, or soy milk. Chill the espresso and pour it over ice before adding milk. Drizzle with white chocolate or add crushed cake crumbles for a true birthday feel.
