Method

Preheat oven to 160°C.  Grease 2 x 18cm round cake pans and line with baking paper. 

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar on medium until thick and pale. With the motor running, gradually add dulce de leche, vanilla and 2 tsp salt flakes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and egg yolk. Reduce speed to low and add one-third flour, then one-third buttermilk. Repeat, alternating between flour and buttermilk, until mixture is smooth and combined.

Divide between cake pans and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Icing
Place cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat on medium until fluffy. Reduce speed to low and gradually add cocoa and Chelsea Pure Decorating Icing Sugar, beating until smooth. 

Trim the cakes to level the tops. Place one cake on a cake stand and spread with half the icing. Top with second cake and remaining icing. Dust with Chelsea Pure Decorating Icing Sugar. Dust meringues with extra cocoa, place around the top of the cake, and serve immediately.
