Notes

To make your own Dulce de Leche take a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Remove the label. Place the UNOPENED can in a tall stock pot (you can do 3 or 4 cans at a time). Cover with water to about 2 inches above the can. Cover the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Simmer for 3 to 3½ hours. Let the can cool before opening.
The recipe calls for 300 milliliters which is 10.14 ounces. I removed 2 tablespoons from the can of homemade and then used that 2 tablespoons for topping on the cake, and it worked out great!
You can buy slow-cooker bags to eliminate the mess in the slow cooker liner and make the cleanup super easy!
Drizzle some chocolate syrup or melted chocolate chips over the cake if you want to overload on chocolate! Add toffee bits for extra caramel flavor.
