📝 Ingredients
- 200 grams butter (room temperature )
- 200 grams granulated sugar (fine )
- 250 grams all purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 200 grams dulce de leche (1/2 can)
- 75 grams dark chocolate (roughly chopped or grated)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350˚F (conventional oven).
- Place the softened butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until creamy.
- Add the flour and salt and knead by hand until you have a smooth dough. Divide into two pieces.
- Line the base of a square or round cake tin with baking parchment (not a springform tin) and place the first half of the pastry on top. Flatten with your fingers and a spoon.
- Using a teaspoon, sprinkle dollops of dulce de leche over the base. Sprinkle with the chopped chocolate and cover with the second half of the pastry.
- This is a bit trickier, but if you don't get it right, don't worry, it'll be fine once it's baked! Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. It will be wobbly. That's because butter cake only firms up when it cools.
- Cut into small pieces when it has cooled completely!
