• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup. Dulce de Leche (caramel cream)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups self-raising flour

6. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then unmold and cool on a wire rack. and set aside to cool slightly before unmolding.
7. For the glaze, sift the sugar twice, whisk in the hot water and lemon juice until thickened. Pour over the cooled down cake to cover, and let cool completely.
