ingredients for Crockpot Chocolate Caramel Cake

You will need:

•  1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk, 2%
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 can Dulce De Leche, 300 ml
• 1/3 cup heavy cream, 33%

Substitutions and Additions

Heavy Cream: You can combine milk and butter if you don’t have any heavy cream on hand. Use 1/4 cup of melted butter with 3/4 cup of milk to make 1 cup of heavy cream. Add a tablespoon of flour if you’d prefer it to be thicker. 

Granulated Sugar: Use brown sugar to substitute for white sugar. You can use a 1:1 ratio since this is a darker, more caramel-like dessert. 

Dulce De Leche: To make your own Dulce De Leche, buy a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Remove the label, then place the UNOPENED can in a tall stockpot (you can do 3 or 4 cans at a time if you want). Cover with water to about 2 inches above the can. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let the can cool before opening.

Ice Cream: Ice cream goes so well with this recipe! Put a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream on top of your cake!
