3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until creamy and pale.
4. Add the dulce de leche and salt, and continue whisking until smooth.
5. Gently fold in the flour, being careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, leaving a little space on top for the cakes to rise.
7. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.

Notes
– For best results, use high-quality dulce de leche.
– These cakes are best enjoyed warm to experience the molten center.
– You can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
– Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
