Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray two 6-ounce ramekins generously with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
- Microwave the dulce de leche and butter together in a medium microwave-safe bowl until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar until well blended. Whisk in the egg and yolk, then add the vanilla. Stir in the flour until you have a smooth batter. Divide between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake until the edges of the cakes are firm but the centers are still soft, 11 to 13 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute, then run a butter knife around the edges of the cakes and invert onto individual plates while still warm. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with the ice cream.

CRISPY CREPES WITH DULCE DE LECHE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and a few shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss immediately with 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a well-seasoned crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Blend milk, eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth. Pour in melted butter, leaving a film of butter in skillet, and blend until well combined.
- Heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and, holding skillet off heat, pour in batter, immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a thin even layer. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly. Next crêpe will be better.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45 seconds. Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden, about 15 seconds more. Sprinkle crêpe lightly with sugar.
- Make more crêpes with remaining batter, stacking them as cooked and lightly sprinkling each with sugar.
- Preheat broiler and butter an 8-inch round flameproof shallow baking dish.
- Heat dulce de leche paste and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Fold crêpes into eighths and arrange in baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, then broil about 6 inches from heat until edges are crispy, about 45 seconds. Serve with sauce and pecans.

Steps:
- Put the sugar in a large saucepan. Turn the heat to a medium temperature and carefully melt the sugar. Gently tilt the pan as the sugar melts, rather than stirring, as it will adhere to a spoon or spatula.
- When the sugar is melted, add the butter and stir into the sugar. It will bubble, so take care. Next, add the milk a little at a time, stirring continuously.
- Finally, add the can of condensed milk and stir well until it is fully incorporated. Keep stirring as the dulce de leche bubbles and thickens over a medium heat. It will need a further 5-10 mins of cooking. It will turn a darker shade of brown and take on a slight orange-red hue as it darkens. It should be thick enough to leave a clear channel in the pan when a spoon is run through and then add a pinch of salt. It will firm up as it cools. The dulce de leche can be stored in a jar in the fridge and will keep for up to a month. If not storing in a jar ensure it's covered so a skin doesn't form.

DULCE DE LECHE CAKE
The cake is tender and moist, and it's not too sweet to help balance out with the frosting. The frosting is delightful, it has that caramel flavor from the dulce de leche, and the optional rum complements the caramel's vanilla notes wonderfully. The hazelnuts added a great crunch factor and adds a subtly nutty flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray; set aside.
- Whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined; set aside.
- Add white sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup dulce de leche and vanilla; beat until well combined, 30 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low and add eggs one at a time, beating until just blended after each addition, 45 seconds. Add flour mixture alternately with 3/4 cup milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating on low just until combined after each addition. Evenly divide cake batter between prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1/4 cup dulce de leche and 2 tablespoons milk until mixture is smooth.
- Invert cakes from pans onto a wire cooling rack; set rack on a baking sheet. Using a wooden skewer or fork, gently poke holes all over flat sides (bottoms) of cakes. Pour dulce de leche glaze mixture over cakes and smooth with an offset spatula to coax mixture into holes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Prepare frosting: Beat butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in salt. Increase speed to medium, and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, and beat in 1/2 cup dulce de leche and rum (if using) on low speed until just incorporated, 45 seconds.
- Assemble the cake: Set a cake layer on a plate with the flat side (bottom) facing up. Evenly spread 1 cup of the frosting over the cake to the edge. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of hazelnuts. Top with the second cake layer, rounded (top) side up. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and side of the cake. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of hazelnuts on top.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the dulce de leche. A good dulce de leche will make all the difference in the flavor of the cake.
- Make sure the dulce de leche is cold before using it. This will help it spread more easily and prevent it from making the crepes soggy.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeaten batter will make the crepes tough.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the crepes carefully. Crepes are delicate, so be careful not to tear them when flipping.
- Spread the dulce de leche thinly between the layers of crepes. This will help the cake hold together and prevent it from becoming too sweet.
- Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the cake set.
Conclusion:
Dulce de leche crepe cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy filling and delicate crepes, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give dulce de leche crepe cake a try.
