Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes - Brown Sugar Food Blog (2024)

This Molen Dulce de Leche Cake is too sexy for its own good.

This Molten Dulce de Leche Cake look fancy but only requires 3 ingredients and less than 30 minutes!

I seriously have mood music in my head as I am typing this blog post. When I say mood music, I mean slow sexy jazz music. That is what comes to mind as I am staring at this picture that you are drooling over. I wanted to slow dance with this cake, let it whisper sweet things in my ear, and I would even let its hands (if it had hands) slip a little low down my back side. That is how flirtatious and inviting this cake is. Don’t you think? I couldn’t stop staring at it! Partially because I couldn’t believe that something so “hott” and decadent came out of my kitchen. I was very pleased and happy with myself. Let me let you in on why making this Molten Dulce de Leche Cake is such a big deal to me.

I am a good baker, but I am not the most confident baker. Especially when it comes to making cakes. This is why the majority of the cakes you find on my blog are made in bundt cake or angel food pans. I am not that great at making cakes look beautiful. I will leave that to the professionals out there. Anyway, I am particularly proud of this cake because molten cakes have always intimidated me. I always use to wonder how bakers baked the cakes to be just right where you have the gooey stuff in the middle just ease on out the way it does in the pictures. I always thought you had to have some sort of special skill or equipment but you don’t! This is one of the easiest things I ever baked. And it is a cake that gives the illusion that I am this amazing pastry chef or baker with a ton of experience. I am telling you my god-daughter could make this cake. So for all the “bakernoids” (paranoid bakers) out there, I am here to tell you that can do this if you are not the best baker in the world. Now, if you do end up making this dessert there is a term in the directions that most people may not understand or be familiar with. That term is “ribbon”. You have to beat the eggs until they create a ribbon effect. I can show you better than I can tell you.

Now you don’t need to add sugar like was shown in this video, just follow the recipe for this Molten Dulce de Leche Cake as it is detailed. I just wanted to show you what the “ribbon effect” is so you can recognize it when you are whisking the eggs. Now! You have all the confidence and tools you need to make this fantastic cake. I am telling you that this is the most surprising cake I have ever tasted. I am saying it is surprising because it has surprised me in every way from how it tastes, the look, and how it easy it was to make. When you make that first bite and that caramel oozes out. I am telling you that it is the sexiest thing you have ever seen! You will want to dance with it; you may even want to flirt, but the one thing that I think we all can agree on is that you will definitely make it to first base.
