Winner of a 2011 flour contest. Found on Just a Pinch website. Haven't tried it yet, but it does look like a little bit of heaven served on a plate (from the photo posted). Thanks Melissa Sperka for allowing this to be in our recipe collection.

1/3 cup toasted almond
1 (18 ounce) box Duncan Hines caramel cake mix
1 cup butter, melted, divided
4 eggs, divided (1 and 3)
1/3 cup toffee pieces
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can dulce de leche (Recommend Nestles)

2 cups powdered sugar
1 -2 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip
2 tablespoons toffee pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl mix together the cake mix, one stick of melted butter and one egg until combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • On top of the crust sprinkle the mini chocolate chips, toffee bits and toasted almonds.
  • In the same mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and the Dulce de Leche until combined.
  • Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar and 1stick melted butter.

  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Glaze:.
  • Melt 1/2 cup of additional chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in the microwave. Stir until completely smooth - if thick add up to 1 tablespoon of cream to thin.

Wow, what a cake! We fell in love with this recipe at first bite. The Crew and I prepared this cake once using caramel cake mix and once using a butter cake mix. Happily, it turned out wonderfully both ways. A funny thing happened while we were preparing to take this cake's picture... we got the plate all fixed for the photo,...
