How to cook deliciously - Dulce de Leche Cake
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease three 8-inch round baking pans and line them with parchment paper. Editor's Tip: Lining a cake pan with parchment paper makes it easy to remove the baked and cooled cake layers. For the simplest option, cut a circular piece the size of the bottom of the cake pan and place it inside. Then, grease the whole pan with cooking spray.
2. Stage
In a small bowl, cream the butter, oil and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs and beat well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternating with the milk. Evenly divide the batter into the prepared baking pans.
3. Stage
Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cakes for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Stage
Beat the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth, for three to four minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the confectioners' sugar, dulce de leche, vanilla extract and salt. Beat until the frosting is creamy, about two to three minutes.
5. Stage
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting on top and add the next cake layer. Add more frosting, and top the cake with the last cake layer. (You should use about half of the frosting between the layers). Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Editor's Tip: An offset spatula is one of the best frosting tools. Add a dab of frosting to the plate before the first cake layer to ensure the cake doesn't move around while you frost it.
