Ant Hill Cake
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 4 ounces sour cream
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, for sprinkling
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature. Next, grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking during the cooking process.
2
To begin making the cake mixture, combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sugar in a bowl. Stir until they are fully incorporated, then whisk in sour cream to achieve a smooth consistency.
3
Mix flour and baking powder together, then sift them over the batter. This step is crucial in creating a smooth dough.
4
Using your kitchen aid's meat grinder attachment, grind handfuls of the dough through the machine until it reaches a desired texture. Then, spread the ground dough evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
5
Place the baked goods in a preheated oven and bake until they are lightly browned, approximately 15 minutes. Remove the goods from the oven and allow them to cool.
6
Now, prepare a new mixture by beating 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of softened butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until it reaches the desired smoothness. Add dulce de leche to the mixture and blend until well combined.
7
Add the cooled cake pieces to the caramel mixture, then fold them in with a spatula until they are fully incorporated.
8
Mound the final mixture onto a serving plate, then use buttered hands to shape it into an ant hill. Finish the dish by sprinkling poppy seeds on top.
