2-I've had a cake before that had cream cheese between some layers and chocolate mousse between other layers and had chocolate-covered strawberries on top. It was really good. 1-There's a way to make some home-made Arequipe. Wikipedia kinda sums it up:

"home-made form of dulce de leche is sometimes made by boiling an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for two to three hours (or 30 to 45 minutes in a pressure cooker), particularly by those living in countries where it cannot be bought ready-made. This results in a product that is much sweeter than the slow-boiled kind. It is dangerous to do this on a stove: if the pot is allowed to boil dry, the can will overheat and explode."

I've also heard that condensed milk that goes way past it's expiration date turns into it, though the biggest similarity I've noticed is in the texture, the flavor isn't quite like Arequipe.

2-I remember a cake that I ate years ago, in better times. It had chocolate, arequipe, and was Tres Leche. It was amazing......of course, a cake like that would be nigh-impossible economically right now, so I've never seen it ever again.
