TURTLE CAKE recipe

by

INGREDIENTS

For the Cake:

  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (divided)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 (14 oz) bag caramels (about 40 unwrapped)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Optional Toppings:

  • Caramel sauce drizzle
  • Extra pecans and chocolate chips for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the cake batter according to package directions.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While that bakes, melt caramels, butter, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth.
  5. Remove cake from oven. Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the hot cake.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans evenly over the caramel layer.
  7. Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the top, spreading gently to cover.
  8. Return to oven and bake for 25–30 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (gooey center is okay—it’s a turtle cake!).
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce and top with more pecans and chocolate chips.

Enjoy this rich, gooey, chocolaty delight!
