Cake and Toppings
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Liquid Mix
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Ingredients: In the baking dish, evenly spread the chocolate cake mix at the bottom. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the cake mix.
- Add Liquids: In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake mix and chocolate chips in the baking dish.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of all the ingredients to help them meld and create a moist texture.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the caramel to set slightly for easier slicing and richer flavor experience.
Notes
- Use a good-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips depending on your preference.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the cake moist and gooey.
- This cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
