Ingredients

Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Dust with baking cocoa, shaking out excess.

Step 2

Combine flour, sugar, baking cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large mixer bowl. Add buttermilk, water, oil, eggs and vanilla extract; beat until moistened. Beat for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 28 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. With round end of wooden spoon, poke holes in cake.

Step 4

Spoon dulce de leche into medium, microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds to soften; stir well. Set aside ¼ cup dulce de leche and whisk together remaining dulce de leche with coconut milk until smooth. Pour over the cake, allowing mixture to soak into the cake.

Step 5

Whip cream in large mixer bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold reserved ¼ cup dulce de leche into cream. Spread over cake.
