We all know that I’m not much of a cake baker. I mean, sure, I try. But, I usually fail.
Layers split apart and fling themselves onto the floor.
The fillings end up oozing out the sides in a most unattractive manner.
The moist cake that I imagine is, in reality, a dry, crumbly, pathetic excuse for a cake.
It’s very sad, is what I’m saying.
Trust me when I say that this cake is simple, fail-proof, and super delish. This might have something to do with the fact that it’s just baked in a 9×13 dish with no worry of evening up layers, or stacking layers, or filling layers, or any of that other ridiculous cake making junk.
Sure, it’s not the most pretty cake ever, but it’s perfect for a family dinner or a chocolate attack. You probably noticed there is no frosting, and that’s because it truly doesn’t need it. It’s so moist and gooey from the filling, that you won’t miss the frosting. Told ya this was an easy cake!

Don’t use cake box mixes please that’s not baking!
Karly says
Feel free to skip this recipe and find another that suits your needs. For me, I enjoy the convenience of a box mix every now and then and will continue to use them.
Dara says
How would you freeze this? And it looks drop dead gooey! LOL
Karly says
I’m sorry, I have no idea! I don’t usually freeze baked goods, so I’m no help with that.

this is so easy, i can’t think of any excuse to avoid making it except that it’ll make me a chubster, that’s a price i’m willing to pay. 🙂

AND it’ll use up that dulce de leche that you’ve fattened us up with and is sitting in our refrigerators begging us to go at it with a spoon. Is that just me?

I just discovered Dulce de Leche myself, and made some yummy cookies. I’ve been dreaming of other ways to use it, and this cake looks like an amazing idea! I think a thin layer in the middle would be perfect. Can’t wait to try it myself!
