| Measurements | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| 1 Package | German Chocolate Cake Mix (plus ingredients on box) |
| 1 lb. | Caramels, unwrapped |
| 1 Small (5 oz) Can | Evaporated Milk |
| 1 Cup | Chocolate Chips |
| 1 Cup | Pecans, chopped |
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the German Chocolate Cake mix according to the package directions.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake this first layer for 15 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, combine the unwrapped caramels and the evaporated milk in a saucepan. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Once the first layer is done, remove it from the oven. Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the cake.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped pecans over the caramel layer.
- Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the top, spreading it to cover the caramel and nuts.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top cake layer comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing. It is very rich and does not need frosting.
