Postre Perfecto!!! (4/27)

Usually I prefer to avoid writing on this blog about the food I eat. But I have discovered true paradise in pastry form. Deb and I were invited to the birthday party of the father of two of my students (twins). (Did you get that?) At this party the host/birthday boy and some of the guests bragged about the cake we were going to share. It apparently has a reputation. Chocolate cake with "manjar" (Dulce de leche or a cousin of caramel)! Of course, anything with manjar sounds wonderful to me. I love the stuff. But I was unprepared for the utter perfection of this dessert. A cousin of Tres Leches, it was three layers of chocolate cake, moist with a manjar sauce, and topped with (yep, you guessed it) manjar. My tastebuds hit heaven over this dessert. I will not rest until I learn how to make it.
