Hey everyone! It’s very easy to make dulce de leche at home. On my blog I did an entire series about the different methods to make it, but I’ve heard that in the U.S. you can buy it in Latin-American specialty stores or some supermarkets. It should be right next to the cans of sweetened, condensed milk.

And Marjolein is right about the caramel flavor. It’s quite subtle. The dulce de leche kind of adds a similar deepening of flavor to the cake as brown butter does, only with more caramel and milk notes to it. Also, if you decide to use the cake batter to make plain cupcakes, the caramel flavor is more pronounced

It’s absolutely a gorgeous cake to look at and to eat. Mois and fluffy. But i was expecting a much more pronounced caramel flavour. Next time I think i will swap the vanillaextract for a caramelextract or add both.

You could also make your own dulce de leche, which is what i do. In Holland I cannot get it anywhere unfortunately. It’s actually quite easy to do.

I live in Ontario, Canada and I see Dulce de Leche alongside the Eagle brand condensed milk; not sure if it’s the same brand. Hope this helps. By the way I’m a brand-new member (as of 5 minutes ago) and have a question: is there a way to find the nutrition count of this and other recipes? This loaf looks decadently delicious but oh my, how much sugar and fat does it contain?

What is “Store Bought Canned Dulce De Leche?” I have never seen it but it does sound like something I’d like to drink.
