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.
