Easy Vanilla Cake Recipe
This easy-peasy vanilla cake requires no mixer, so it’s a great recipe for people who don’t usually bake.

Ingredients
Butter- or Olive Oil-flavored baking spray
2 1/2 cups Flour
1 3/4 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Oil
1 3/4 cups Sugar
1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups Milk
2 Eggs, whole
2 Eggs, whites-only
Equipment
2 cupcake pans or 3 7-inch cake pans

Directions
To Make the Vanilla Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat the cupcake pans with baking spray.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar, vanilla, and butter until light and fluffy. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites until combined.
Combine the sugar and egg mixtures, and then alternate whisking in the milk and dry ingredients slowly until everything is incorporated and lump free.
Pour the batter into the cake pans, or spoon it into cupcake pans, as evenly as possible. Bake until dry and slightly brown, approximately 10-15 minutes for cupcakes and 25 minutes for a cake. Allow to cool completely.
Makes two dozen cupcakes or one three-layer cake.

Easy Dulce de Leche Recipe
This recipe uses a can of sweetened condensed milk as a quick and easy shortcut to a rich caramel frosting.
Ingredients
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Directions

To Make Dulce De Leche:
Remove the wrapper on a can of sweetened condensed milk, place in a pot, and cover with cold water. Set on a burner on medium heat and begin to cook. Check the water level continuously, adding additional water if necessary, to keep the can covered and the water from reaching a boil. Continue to cook on medium-low for a total of four hours, until milk is thick and brown.
Remove can from water bath with tongs and allow to cool for three to four hours before opening.
Makes about a cup of Dulce de Leche. The leftover Dulce de Leche will keep, refrigerated, for at least a week.

To Make a Samoa®/ Caramel deLites®-Inspired Layer Cake:
Place your first layer of cake down on a cake stand of plate.
Spread a thin layer of Dulce de Leche on top. Then, add a layer of ground up Samoa®/ Caramel deLites® Girl Scout cokies. Add a small amount of pastry cream (see how to make in video here). Then add a layer of toasted coconut.

Top with the second layer of the cake, then add a layer of dark chocolate syrup. Drizzle some Dulce De Leche on top. Take some Samoa®/ Caramel deLites® and place them around the cake. Enjoy!
