OMG! Im from Argentina, the land of Dulce de Leche! You would love to come here and see/taste all the things we make with it: icecream, cookies, cakes, facturas, alfajores, candies, petit desserts, etc. Thank you so much for choosing dulce de leche for this cake. Love, Lau
I've made dulce de leche in my pressure cooker. It goes on a rack (label removed), and it takes about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let it do a a natural release of pressure. Works beautifully!
When you said "and a generous pinch of salt", the clip of you pouring the sugar played.. i was shocked thinking the sugar was the salt hahaha. Obsessed with your videos. I'm inspired to bake my own birthday cake during this quarantine period ^_^
I wanted to say that this recipe is amazing... And that I've recently decided to bump up the flavors and i took out 1 1/2 tablespoons od granulated sugar and put in 1 1/2Tablespoons Brown sugar. Then I added a TAD BIT LESS than 1/4 cup of actual Dulce de Leche and it was awesome! It didnt affect that cake in ANY negative way... Your original recipe is amazung but I wanted to see if I could make the actual cake taste like Dulce de Leche and it DID!!! ANNNYYYWAAAY (sorry for the rambles 😆) thanks again youre awesome!!!
My wife is Peruvian and she introduced me to 'dulce de leche' (a.k.a. manjar blanco). She makes the BEST Alfajores de Maizena cookies which also uses the dulce de leche. This cake looks amazing! I know my wife would absolutely love this.
Es excelente y tu amabilidaf y paciencia lo hacen mas dulce!!! Soy de Argentina y en nuestro país es el dulce nacional!! Aunque lo compartimos con otros paises hermanos .
Amazing! I tried it and it was amazing! The only thing that I used a little bit less sugar on the buttercream, and I also split the buttercream recipe in half. But it was amazing!
Just learned of you today. Great channel, lots of great advice, and you deliver solid, rich content with a perfect cadence for keeping the viewer focused. Bravo, sir!
Not your usual preppy self. Thanks for the video even though you seemed a little under the weather. Hope you had a good rest after filming. Stay safe and Godbless!
Wonderful! all ur Tutorials I have seen r the "truth.". I luv yr explanation, confidence and the ability to show yr enthusiasm is sublime. I am a new subscriber and I luv u and the information. Not to mention all the cooking utensils. My mom used to make her Baking Strips, and I never knew the purpose as u did not bother her when she was whipping up all those fantastic desserts. Mouth watering. Keep up the good work. Thanks to mom and her organic garden veggies as well.
Love the video. Looking forward to seeing more cakes this was quick straight to the point. With just the right amount if tips. And Im baking this cake next week. I'll keep you posted.Thanks John
The condensed milk can is a pretty good solution but gives a much softer flavour than the real thing. Also, you can buy bakers dulce de leche, wich is much thicker than regular (almost like cement some times) so you don’t need to add sugar.
The baking strips are great for layers that that will be stacked for a layer cake. Some cakes however are nice if the bottoms and sides Caramelize. Things like applesauce bread, banana banana bread, or even a pound cake. I will certainly start using the homemade version of cake strips you demonstrated whenever I’m making a layered cake. I haven’t noticed baking strips in Munich shops, but I’ll keep my eyes open in future.
Though I've never been good at baking, nor can I really eat a lot of desserts, I enjoy watching your videos. I also appreciate that fact that you don't put fondant on your cakes. I am going to try and make your cinnamon rolls at some point! Everything looks so delicious I just had to subscribe!
Hi John, I've just discovered your channel and instantly subscribed. I love your delivery, advice and content. I shall be trying some of your recipes as soon as the kitchen remodelling is completed.
Preppy Kitchen so do I! My in laws threw me a surprise baby shower 2 weeks ago.. I was told it was a family's graduation party and was in charge of the cupcakes. LOL guess who baked for her own baby shower 🤣 that was funny. I'm the only person who bakes which is probably why nobody wanted to bake 😂 My husband asked me if he can bring his ps4 to the delivery room. Apparently he is not concerned since we've done it all before.
Maiko lida I really hope you've been able to make this this cake, since having your baby? Awe, sorry you had to bake for your own baby shower. And, hopefully your husband didn't take his PS4, to the delivery?
Just saw ur recipe and tried it actually it’s not this recipe but the chocolate cupcakes and so far they love it. Very light though I didn’t do the icing . Sometimes I get frustrated with my icing. What tips can u give me for making the Congo? Thank u . U make baking look easy. Love watching u🙏
Any other way to stiffen up the frosting without adding up a lot of sugar? I cannot stand too sweet frosting. Pretty sure I'm not going to add any more sugar after adding dulce de leche.
Georgia Andrea use vegetable shortening. The amount of powdered sugar used in this recipe is crazy. Thats why I always prefer Swiss Meringue Buttercream over American Buttercream. Harder to handle coz it isnt as stiff as american buttercream but the taste and texture is way better and only needs a few amount of sugar.
Agree!! I NEVER buy or make a cake if using American buttercream. Seriously, in my house, if we got American buttercream in a cake, we always scrape it, and only eat the cake 🤢🤢🤮
If you have a pressure cooker or Instant Pot you can make dulce de leche even faster and easier. Peel off the label, fill pot with water to just above the can and cook on High Pressure for 1 hour 20 minutes. I've done it a million times...Trust me. It's so much easier and you don't have to worry about constantly having to replenish the water that evaporates away if you do it on a stove top. Just make sure that the can is not damaged or it could crack open with the pressure.
Delish Delish Delish Love it.... I keep forgetting to ask- which brand of cake flour do you tend to use and which brand of buttermilk? Loving your tutorials. 💜🧡💛
I love love LOVE how much you care about everything!!!...i had a question..i really want to try this recipe..i notice you didn't use any simple syrup before adding the buttercream..does it need any?..after the whole process of chilling and frosting..does it dry out at all?
Saving this video this looks like heaven. ( hang I don't even care if my other half does not like Dulce de Leche ) Or this cake. I am so making this cake once I have all the things I need. And more cake for me LOL Thank you John
Your cakes are always so well put together and presentable! They are lovely. Can I ask what model of the kitchen aid do you own? And as a baker who is just starting to practice baking at home is there a kitchen aid that you would recommend? Thank you!
Love the way you use browned butter (clarified butter/ ghee) in your recipes. Could we also use ready made ghee instead? Have you weighed the cooked butter after the water content has evaporated?
Omg im a little bit in love with you.. You are adorable n extremely talented and so passionate. I only found you two days ago n i had to subscribe. You are amazing. God bless.
@@PreppyKitchen omg omg omg im totally fangirling right now... I can't believe you replied. Ive been watching back to back videos of yours.. And i just called my aunt in the US n told her to bring me baking strips from wilton... Since say that it's a must. I didn't know they existed before you. Cos you don't get them here in india.. I've been following all ur tips and intructions to the T. And for the first time in my life thanks to you i made the preetiest cake.. Decorated with roses (i followed your buttercream flowers video for intructions.) oh my God i didn't know you could Make such pretty leaves with that tip you showed us in the video. It was so pretty. I can't believe i made the flowers myself with butter cream... Just by following your video.. You are incredible. . Something i could never do myself. Before you came into my life. So thank you. U are the God of baking. Love you.. God bless.
Hi, John! I always love watching your cake videos, they look so delicious! I wanted to share with you that I recently learned that 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon! Maybe you already knew that, but thought I'd mention it anyway, because it has saved me from having to measure out multiple teaspoons :)
Delicioso, probably you've already heard about "Cajeta", which in my opinion taste better that Lechera "Dulce de leche ". If you have opportunity try it one day. By the way I like your recipes.
Hi there, is there any reason why you don’t use Caster Sugar? What is the difference between normal table salt and kosher salt and therefore would it make a difference if used? Last question, is all purpose flour self raising flour? Love the videos and cakes. Really lovely. Thanks for sharing. Liz
Amazing work.God bless you 👍🌷
Preppy Kitchen I learn a lot from you. Thanks❤❤❤🌷🌷👍
His cakes are so aesthetically pleasing

@@yvonnecamacho8793 why so rude? she just said that we make a lot of things with it, we love it, it's not that deep
eh shut up because other Latin Americans be hating on Argentina
El placer que otros cocinen con nuestro dulce tipico ajjaajajajaj. Es un amoroso.
@@yvonnecamacho8793 el dulce de leche es argentino, que lo usen en todo el mundo no significa otra cosa :)
@@yvonnecamacho8793 que lo hayan inventado los argentinos significa eso.
I can't eat sugar, and yet I still torture myself by binge watching him bake those tasty and beautiful recipes...
Me too ... Sigh
one day, I'll crack.
Same….
that is truly masochistic! But in an odd way I bet it helps.
I got a few Wilton baking strips and im really impressed with the difference in the cakes no trimming or leveling needed. Thanks for recommending 😊
I've made dulce de leche in my pressure cooker. It goes on a rack (label removed), and it takes about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let it do a a natural release of pressure. Works beautifully!
I've heard that method.... That'll work too and saves a lot of cooking gas and time...

Obsessed with your videos. I'm inspired to bake my own birthday cake during this quarantine period ^_^
I thought the same thing! I was like:"JESUS WHA-, ohh it's sugar!"
😂😂😂😂
Same here😂
Dulce de leche is my FAVORITE THING EVER!

I’m mesmerized that the shelves behind you are ever-changing with its decor. Oh, and I’m making this bad boy!
I love anything with dulce de leche ❤
How do you stay so thin John?! You always indulge in “eating buttercream” and stay slim and all I do is lick the spoon and gain 10lbs.
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos yesterday. I’m going to try your mocha cake tomorrow

"Right after we do the most important thing"
Me: eat the batter
Preppy kitchen: fabric strips
Me: oh.. Yes.. that...
Everyone loves dulce de leche as a filling for cakes in my country. It's so delicious. Too bad the weather it's too hot for buttercream.
“Mesmerizing batter”... 😋😋
This looks so good! I love when you said “wait wait wait this looks like a party to me” lol yes! And the top looks so pretty.
I'm Argentina..this vale Is so sweet....very good

You could use cool whip or whipped cream
What about adding pudding mix, and leave to set in the fridge? Or melted marshmallows? It will still be soft, just not drippy
I scrape American buttercream too. It’s vile. I wonder if you can make it with honey instead of powder sugar
💕 Wow !! Great cake !! Thanks for your video !! 👍🏼👋🏼

You are great baker
Can u give us a cake recipe with an Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream 🤗
Ps love ur kitchen decor
finally someone who pronounces dulce de leche correctly and not like dolce in Italian!! Hi from Uruguay (also the land of dulce de leche lol)
It looks amazing! But... it’s pronounced “Dool-seh.” “Doll-che” is Italian. 😬
Luis Macias actually it is Dulce de Leche Spanish 🤪
To be more exact, it should be 'DOOL-the'. And when I hear 'DAWL-che' the only thing I can think of is '& Gabbana'.
@@Jeffffrey0902 Well ... in Northern Spain yes, EVERYWHERE else: like "doolsse". It comes from Argentina ... so no "doolthe" ...
Omg who cares it’s pronounced it tastes freaking amazing haha

@pinsuun, that depends what country you live in. In countries that use metric, a tablespoon is 20ml so therefore, 4 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
