This recipe comes from, A Baker’s Passport, written by Susie Norris. Susie says, “Before the ‘British Bake-Off’ television show, a competition smoldered in Bakewell, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. Much like Sacher Torte in Vienna, rivalries about the origins of the Bakewell Tart (also known as Bakewell Pudding or Bakewell Pudding Tart, depending on which shop in town you visit) are part of its allure.
This luxurious cake from Susie Norris’s most recent book, A Baker’s Passport, is all about the Americas — in this case Mexico — as both chocolate and vanilla are native to tropical Mexico, Central and South America. The cake is filled with vanilla flavor and then soaked with the caramel notes of sweet milk (Dulce de Leche) along with a bit of chocolate. If you are having a dinner party or event focused on Mexican food, the Vanilla Butter Cake with Chocolate Dulce de Leche would be culturally appropriate as well as a very popular dessert!
