Chunnel Cake Sandwiches with Dulce de Leche Gelato

• 1 pint vanilla gelato, softened
• 1/4 cup dulce de leche, plus more for drizzling
• Malted milk powder, optional
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 eggs
• Vegetable oil, for frying

1. For the gelato: Scoop the softened gelato into a large mixing bowl.
2. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the dulce de leche and malted powder to taste, if using.
3. Transfer to an airtight container and refreeze for 2 hours.
4. For the chunnel cakes: Mix together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl.
5. Set aside.
6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, orange zest, salt and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil and eggs.
8. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the wet ingredients, stirring to create a smooth, shiny batter.
9. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium-size star tip, or a re-sealable freezer bag with a corner snipped off and fitted with the same.
10. Transfer the filled bag to the refrigerator to chill until very cold, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
11. Fill a wide, shallow pot or Dutch oven with 3 inches of vegetable oil, and heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
12. Working in batches, carefully pipe 3-inch coils of the batter into the hot oil.
13. Fry until golden brown, 5 minutes.
14. With a spider or slotted spoon, transfer the fried cakes to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar and coat with sugar on both sides.
15. For the sandwich build: Take one chunnel cake and place a scoop (about 1/3 cup) of the dulce de leche ice cream on top.
16. Sandwich with another chunnel cake, and drizzle with some extra dulce de leche.
17. Serve immediately or freeze for later.
