Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup dulce de leche (for filling and topping)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • Optional: extra dulce de leche and chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, combine 1/2 cup dulce de leche and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a bowl. Whip until smooth and spreadable.
  8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of dulce de leche on top, then add the second cake layer.
  9. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the dulce de leche frosting. Garnish with extra dulce de leche drizzle and chopped nuts if desired.
  10. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best results.
