This Turtle Caramel Cake is a decadent treat that brings together the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The moist chocolate cake base is filled with rich caramel sauce, creating a luscious dessert that melts in your mouth. Topped with chopped pecans and chocolate chips, it offers a delightful crunch and burst of flavor with every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix according to package directions, then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel sauce. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over the surface using a fork. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans and chocolate chips evenly on top of the cake.
- Return the cake to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the chocolate chips start to melt.
- Let the cake cool completely, then drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired.
- Slice and serve.
