Caramel Latte Cake image

Easy because it starts with a yellow cake mix, this cake has fabulous coffee and caramel flavor - it didn't last two full days in the fridge because we all kept going back for "just a bite more". This is originally from Pillsbury's website.

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 oz yellow cake mix with pudding
1 1/4 c warm water
1 Tbsp instant coffee powder

3 eggs
13 1/2 oz dulce de leche
1/2 c hot water
3 Tbsp instant coffee powder
1 Tbsp dark rum
1 c whipping cream
1/4 c powdered sugar
2 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped or grated

Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring after about 1 minute with wire whisk, until pourable. Set aside while cake cools.
