Description

This decadent Carmel Fudge Cake is a crowd-pleasing dessert that combines the ease of a boxed cake mix with the luxury of a homemade caramel swirl.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions, adding the required eggs, oil, and water.
  3. Pour half of the chocolate batter (about 2 cups) into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  4. Bake this initial layer for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  5. While the cake bakes, combine the caramels and margarine (or butter) in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
  6. Stir constantly until the caramels and margarine are completely melted and smooth.
  7. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the condensed milk until well combined.
  8. Carefully spread the warm caramel mixture over the partially baked cake layer.
  9. Spread the remaining chocolate batter over the caramel layer, trying to cover as much as possible without mixing it in.
  10. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped pecans evenly over the top layer of batter.
  11. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
  12. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
