Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup hot strong coffee
Filling
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts , coarsely chopped

Instructions
- CAKE: Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, then line with parchment, leaving overhang on 2 sides.
- WHISK flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until just combined. Whisk in hot coffee.

Cut a 1/2-in. strip crosswise from centre and remove. Spread half of cake with 1/2 cup of the dulce de leche and sprinkle with peanuts.
