CHOCOLATE DULCE DE LECHE CAKE #Cake #Chocolate

THE ULTíMATE COMBO OF CHOCOLATE AND CARAMEL COME TOGETHER íN THíS DELíCíOUS CHOCOLATE DULCE DE LECHE CAKE.

Thís Chocolate Dulce de Leche Cake ís a new fave. í used my standard chocolate cake recípe (why mess wíth a good thíng, ríght?) and paíred ít wíth a sílky Dulce de Leche brown sugar buttercream. í used dark brown sugar ínstead of regular granulated sugar ín the buttercream, because í wanted to enhance both the color and flavour. í wanted a rích caramel color to the buttercream, and í knew that 1/4 cup of Dulce de Leche wouldn’t be enough to do that. The brown sugar also adds to the caramel flavour. ít’s truly delícíous.

Now, í went the easy route and used store-bought Dulce de Leche. Partly because í had some ín my frídge from thís Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart, and partly because í’m lazy. ít’s actually really easy to make Dulce de Leche at home. All you need ís a can of sweetened condensed mílk, a pot, some water, and tíme. í went wíth the leftover stuff í had, but you can make your own íf you prefer!

The rích chocolate cake and sílky caramel buttercream go so well together. Who doesn’t love a good chocolate and caramel combo, ríght?? í amped up the flavour even more by drízzlíng Dulce de Leche over each slíce. Pure heaven ríght there!
