1	box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1/4	cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1	cup water
1/3	cup vegetable oil
3	eggs
1	bag (8 oz) milk chocolate-coated toffee bits
1	can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
	Sweetened whipped cream, if desired
	Caramel topping, if desired

Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, flour, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toffee bits. Pour into pan.
Reserve 1/2 cup dulce de leche. Spoon remaining dulce de leche by teaspoonfuls onto batter.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Drop reserved dulce de leche by spoonfuls over top of cake and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Cool about 1 hour before serving. Top each serving with whipped cream and caramel topping.

Substitution

You can substitute crushed chocolate-covered English toffee candy bars for the toffee bits.

Purchasing

Dulce de leche, a caramelized condensed milk, can be found near the sweetened condensed milk in the grocery store.

I made this cake with great expectations. I had to caramelize the milk (easy in the microwave), but the caramel sunk to the bottom of the cake and stuck to the pan. Not pretty but delicious!

I made this weekend for my kids and they both loved it. Couldn't find carmelized sweetened condensed milk so I made my own. Would make again.

I was personally a little disappointed in this cake, but everyone said they really liked it where I took it. It was pretty easy to make. I found the dulce le leche in the Hispanic section of the grocery store. It was a little pricey, but beat unwrapping caramels! I will make it again.

I looked forward to making this cake and was not all that happy with my results. It seemed like all the sweet milk went to the bottom and made the cake stick to my pan when I cut it and tried to take it out. It made a pretty cake but I thought it would have more of a caramel flavor thoughout the cake.

This was the BEST cake ever! I've just started branching out of my comfort zone a little when it comes to cooking, thus trying this recipe (not the typical yellow cake/chocolate frosting thing). Anyway, I followed the recipe exact, down to the suggested whipped cream and extra caramel when serving. My family went nuts over this cake, which of course made me feel awesome. I've been looking for my stand out recipe and I think I've found it in this Ooey Gooey Caramel Cake! Perfect!!! Thank you to who ever came up with this.

This cake is wonderful! I definitely suggest warming the dulce de leche that is spread over the top via a double broiler system. Otherwise it would be to thick to spread without tearing the top of the cake. I put applesauce in mine instead of the oil and it turned out fantastic. A definite do-over!

My family absolutely LOVED this cake. I'm not kidding when I say a couple of them were actually licking their plates with their fingers after they finished their first piece (and we usually exhibit good manners at our house!!!) Then they wanted "seconds"! A very big hit and I'll be making it tonight for a family get-together as a request of my husband. I did find the dulce de Leche in the mexican area of the large grocery store I go to, not in the baking area. Couldn't find chocolate toffee bits, just plain toffee bits but it was still delicious.
