Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • Ingredients needed to prepare the cake (usually eggs, oil, and water) 🥚🥛🧈

For the Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 🥛
  • 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Topping:

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed 🧁
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare and Bake the Cake:
    • Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, incorporating the eggs, oil, and water as directed. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
    • Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Poke the Cake:
    • Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake to create space for the filling. 🥄
  4. Add the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 jar of caramel sauce until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it fills the holes you created. 🥛
    • Sprinkle the chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips evenly over the cake. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the filling set. ❄️
  5. Add the Topping:
    • After the cake has chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the entire surface of the cake. 🧁
    • Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the whipped topping, and sprinkle the top with the remaining chopped pecans.
  6. Serve:
    • Slice the cake into squares and enjoy! This rich and creamy dessert is perfect for serving a crowd and is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
