Boterkoek (Dutch Butter Cake)
This Boterkoek, a dense Dutch butter cake, gets a rich upgrade with layers of dulce de leche and dark chocolate. It’s a simple dough to bring together, pressed into a tin and baked until golden. The cake will be quite wobbly when it comes out of the oven, but don't worry—it firms up beautifully as it cools. Slice it once it's completely cool for clean, buttery squares.
