Ingredients
  • 225 g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 250 g dulce de leche
  • 150 g dark chocolate chips
  • 175 g very soft butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 140 g Greek yogurt
  • Seeds from a vanilla bean or 1 tsp of extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 170˚C and set an oven shelf so that the top of your cake tin comes no higher than half way up in the oven. Line a 2 lb loaf pan with greaseproof paper.
  2. Place all but the choc chips in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until the ingredients come together as a smooth, manila coloured batter - do not over beat and do ensure your butter is very soft before you start. Fold in the choc chips.
  3. Spoon into your prepared loaf pan and level off the top, with a slight dip in the middle.
  4. Bake for 1 hour but check as 55 minutes and be prepared to go to an extra 10 minutes if needed (domestic ovens vary a lot). The cake will be very well risen, have a deep furrow running down the centre and a skewer should come out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake.
  5. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling. Serving with the extra dulce de leche is highly recommended!
Recipe Notes

Either buy a can of ready caramelised condensed milk or cook it in your slow cooker completely covered in water on low for 8-10 hours. You can cook it in a pan of water on the hub for 2-3 hours instead if that is easier. Always ensure the can is completely immersed in water and never let the pan boil dry.
Ensure you butter is very soft before you start - if necessary, beat this for a few minutes until very light and fluffy before adding in all the other ingredients at once.
With regard to the yogurt - don't use low/no fat sorts as these are too runny and tart. If using a very thick brand (like Total) then beat in a little milk to make more like thick, spoonable cream rather than set yogurt in texture.
