Turtle Caramel Cake Made Simple: Step-By-Step Guide
Ingredients
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter
- 1 bag 11 oz caramel bits
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 can 16 oz chocolate fudge frosting
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Cake Batter
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix, whole milk, eggs, and canola oil. Mix until smooth.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Make The Caramel Layer
- While the cake bakes, melt the caramel bits with the evaporated milk and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble The Cake
- Remove the partially baked cake from the oven and pour the caramel mixture evenly over it.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
- Pour the remaining cake batter on top, spreading it gently to cover the caramel and toppings.
Step 4: Bake And Frost
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before spreading the chocolate fudge frosting evenly on top.
