This dulce de leche drip cake is my go to dessert whenever I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. With just 20 minutes of prep and 40 minutes of baking, you'll have an elegant showstopper ready to serve. The star of the show is that gorgeous dulce de leche drip cascading down the sides, but what I love most is how simple the whole process actually is. Hazelnuts add a lovely crunch and are packed with heart healthy fats and antioxidants, making this indulgence feel a little bit better. Trust me, your friends will think you spent all day on this beauty.
