Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare as directed)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans for topping
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
- Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- Pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer, then pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl; let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to make ganache.
- Pour ganache evenly over the caramel-soaked cake.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle additional caramel or sprinkle sea salt over the cake before serving.
