dulce de leche pound cake 牛奶焦糖磅蛋糕 Ψ(●◜ ཅ ◝●)Ψ

during my recent trip to brazil, my argentinian friend brought me (besides a Messi jersey) 2 bottles of havanna dulce de leche..
wee wee…. yes, the world famous havanna dulce de leche….
and since i last made the condense milk moo-moo cookies, my moo moo mould seem to have bite the dust…
so i decided to put it to use again…
i cut the moo moo-s out of a chocolate pound cake i baked and placed it inside my loaf pan… well.. it didn’t work very well… the moo-moos didn’t contrast nicely…plus, not all the DDL cake batter got to the bottom of the moo-moos
so if you decide to do a patterned pound cake, do remember your cut out should avoid not have a “spaced” bottom
the upside is, this cake is darn good…
最近跟随着那群疯子追寻傻子时，其中一位疯子给我带了两瓶（除梅西球衣外）世界上最驰名的havanna牛奶焦糖。。
正是时候。。。
自之前做了炼乳花牛曲奇后，花牛模子也陷入了“休克”状态。。所以这次打算让它重出江湖
我用了模子在巧克力酪乳磅蛋糕上裁出了花牛模型。。人算不如天算，效果不佳。。
因为牛奶焦糖的面糊无法散至花牛腹部下，所以好多片都有空隙。。
所以哈。。。千记万记 ～ 模子底部最好不要有空隙哈
还好。。这蛋糕没让疯子失望
