Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 cup caramel sauce

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups milk

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. If using, add the chopped pecans for extra texture.

Pour the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake, which will create a delicious crust as it bakes.

Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (some gooey bits are okay!).

Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream if desired.
