Ingredients
Dulce De Leche
- 1 can condensed milk
Brownie
- 140 g soft butter (5 oz)
- 2 eggs
- 150 g brown sugar (5.5 oz)
- 100 g sugar (3.5 oz)
- 80 g unsweetened cocoa powder (2 3/4 oz)
- 1 tsp vanilla powder or extract
- 1 tsp instant coffee (dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 60 g all-purpose flour (2 oz)
- 2 tsp flakes of sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Dulce De Leche
- Remove the labeling from the metal can.
- Place the unopen can of condensed milk in a sauce pan and cover it with water. Make sure the entire can is submerged in water.
- Cover the sauce pan with a lid and turn on the heat. Let the water simmer (just below boiling) for three hours.
- Remove the hot can from the water and let it cool off for minimum three hours. The hot caramel is liquid and should settle a little.
Brownie
- In a large bowl, add soft butter, eggs, the two types of sugar, vanilla powder, cocoa powder, coffee, flour and salt. Combine well and whisk until the batter is nice and smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) oven pan which is lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the brownie in a 175 C (350 F) preheated oven for about 25-28 minutes. When done, a toothpick inserted into the brownie must come out almost clean.
- Remove the brownie from the oven and allow it to cool off before spreading the Dulce De Leche on top. Make nice swirl patterns in the caramel.
- Sprinkle the cake with coarse sea salt flakes and cut it in square pieces.
