Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two greased and lined 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, buttermilk, hot water, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; stir until just blended.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For frosting, beat egg whites with brown sugar over a double boiler until warm; then beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually mix in room temperature butter and dulce de leche.
Assemble the cake by layering frosting between the cooled cake layers and on top.
