1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee granules
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
1/2 cup hot water
3 tablespoons instant espresso coffee granules
1 tablespoon dark rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract plus 2 teaspoons water
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped, or 1 teaspoon unsweetened baking cocoa

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.

Add espresso mixture, butter and eggs to cake mix. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; scrape bowl. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes longer. Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool in pan on cooling rack 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spoon dulce de leche into medium microwavable bowl. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup hot water, 3 tablespoons espresso granules and the rum; stir into dulce de leche until smooth. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring after about 1 minute with whisk, until pourable. Set aside while cake cools.
  • Poke cooled cake every 1/2 inch with handle end of wooden spoon. Pour dulce de leche mixture evenly over cake; spread mixture over top of cake with metal spatula to fill holes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours.
  • In medium bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff. Spread whipped cream evenly over chilled cake. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Store covered in refrigerator.
