Dulce de Leche Cake

Ingredients

• •1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• •1½ tsp baking powder
• •½ tsp salt
• •½ cup butter, softened
• •¾ cup granulated sugar
• •2 large eggs
• •½ cup whole milk
• •1 tsp vanilla extract
• •1½ cups dulce de leche
• •1 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
2. 2Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time. Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with flour, then stir in vanilla.
3. 3Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks.
4. 4Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in 1 cup of dulce de leche to create frosting.
5. 5Place one cake layer on a plate and spread with dulce de leche frosting. Top with second layer and frost the top and sides with remaining frosting.
6. 6Drizzle the remaining ½ cup dulce de leche over the top of the cake for decoration. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

💡 Dulce de leche frosting thickens as it cools. Spread while pliable, but wait until the cake layers themselves are completely cool.
