Hi, how would you incorporate dulce de leche into a normal sort of cake mix, for the purpose of making it taste like caramel?

 

If you are looking for a strong caramel flavor, I'm not sure baking dulce de leche into a cake is the best single flavoring agent.  People do use dulce de leche in all sorts of cakes though. Often mixed with other milks and poured over the top like in the common Tres Leches or Quatro Leches Cakes.  Or incorporated in a filling or frosting.

These links should take you to a list of cake recipes that use it in different ways.  Some aren't what I'd call "a normal sort of cake mix" but should give you some ideas to run with.

Cakes

Cupcakes/small cakes

 

I must say that Sour Cream Dulce de Leche Swirl Cake recipe sounds really good!

 

I'll also recommend Dulce de Leche: Recipes, Stories, & Sweet Traditions (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) as a cookbook that's delightful to read with all sorts of recipes using dulce de leche, including cakes.
