Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Layer Cake Mix: Pour the entire chocolate cake mix evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
  3. Add Sauces: Drizzle the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cake mix. These add moisture and a rich, sweet flavor that melds perfectly with the chocolate.
  4. Butter Layer: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface to help the cake bake with a moist, tender crumb and create those signature crispy edges.
  5. Sprinkle Toppings: Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips and, if using, chopped nuts across the top to add texture and enhanced flavor to the finished dessert.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter is bubbly and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking. This helps the layers set and makes serving easier and less messy. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a different flavor twist.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Ensure not to overbake; the cake should be bubbly and set but still moist.
