Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (150ml) neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil
- 2/3 cup (150ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups (195g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream, as needed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
- Add the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Sift in the flour and baking powder.
- Whisk gently until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter and cool completely.
- Warm the dulce de leche if needed and stir in milk or cream until smooth and pourable.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
- Pour the dulce de leche glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Grease the Bundt pan thoroughly to ensure easy release.
- Add milk or cream gradually to achieve the desired glaze consistency.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
