This recipe looks wonderful. Remember that we will start by listing all the ingredients, so start by separating all the ingredients and then the complete preparation method.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the dulce de leche frosting:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.
Reduce the speed to low and carefully pour in the boiling water. Mix until the water is fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the dulce de leche frosting. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 1 minute at a time, stirring after each interval, until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Be careful not to let it burn.
In a separate mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the dulce de leche, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Once the cakes have cooled, spread a generous amount of dulce de leche frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
For an extra touch, you can drizzle additional dulce de leche over the cake as a decorative topping.
