Dulce De Leche Cake

Caramely! Sinful! Combined with chocolate! The Dulce De Leche cake was what I baked for my anniversary. It is sinfully rich and the perfect party cake. It tastes awesome even without the chocolate glaze but I wold definitely recommend combining it with a chocolate frosting or ganache at least once. After all what is life if we do not sin once in a while?

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter, at room temperature

2 cups flour

1 cup Dulce de leche

5 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla essence

For the chocolate drip

½ cup chopped dark chocolate

1 cup cream

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Grease and line a loaf tin.

Sift flour and baking powder together.

Put the Dulce de leche on a double boiler and stir till it becomes runny. Keep aside.

Beat together the butter and sugar till pale and frothy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add the Dulce de leche and vanilla and mix well. Now fold in the flour gently. Pour into the loaf tine and bake for 40 -45 minutes. Check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick. Keep aside to cool.

Place the cream and chocolate on a double boiler and stir till the chocolate has melted and mixed well with the cream. Whip some more to make it shiny and smooth.

Drizzle the chocolate drip over the cake.
