Dulce De Leche Pound Cake

Dulce De Leche is not a stranger to many of us, the taste the fragrance made us fell head over heels with it. Well most of us love it my family are the first i ever came across who says they don't like the taste and smell so i do not make DDL as often as i like. For those who had never done a DDL before here's the link i found on Wiki its has a series of DDL making methods which i find it very useful.

The recipe adds in the eggs only at the last step, that's something new to me haha! The cake turn out soft fluffy a definite recipe keeper!
