How to Make Dulce De Leche Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Prepare cake mix according to package directions for a 13x9 inch baking pan. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place the sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Reduce microwave power to medium-low. Microwave for 16-24 minutes, whisking every 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is thick and a light caramel color. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave).
  5. Remove from microwave and stir in the caramel topping. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  6. Spread the cooled dulce de leche evenly over the cooled cake.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
  9. Spoon the whipped cream evenly over the dulce de leche layer.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped nuts (optional).
  11. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to chill.
