We attended a Cinco de Mayo party and were asked to bring this cake. It was delicious!
DULCE de LECHE CAKE
CAKE INGREDIENTS
Yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter (1 cube)
1 1/3 cups water
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs at room temp (you can quickly warm them in a bowl of hot tap water)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom only of pan with PAM or grease w/shortening. I think a glass pan does a better job but any 9x13 pan is ok.
In a quart sauce pan heat butter over medium heat for about 8 minutes stirring
frequently, just until golden brown. This happens quickly once it gets "frothy",
Remove from heat and cool 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, browned butter, water and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes (brown flecks from butter will appear in batter). Pour into pan. Bake 30 -40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center of cake. Cool completely @ 1 hour.
FROSTING INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups butter (3 cubes)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup canned milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Melt butter in sauce pan. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling stirring constantly. Boil and stir over low heat for 2 minutes. Sir in canned milk and heat again just to boiling. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm. Add powdered sugar gradually beating after each addition. Continue beating as it cools until of spreading consistency. This frosting sets as it cools so get it on cake when spreadable but not set. If its sets before you get it on the cake you can reheat it slightly while stirring constantly.
Cover frosted cake and keep in a cool place. Can be made the day before if necessary.
