Chocolate Caramel Dump Cake

Print Recipe

A rich and easy-to-make dump cake combining chocolate cake mix with luscious caramel sauce and a glossy chocolate ganache topping, finished with optional chocolate shavings or nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: chocolate shavings, chopped nuts or toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, eggs, milk, melted butter, baking powder, and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is baking, heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until hot but not boiling.
  5. Add the chocolate chunks to the hot cream and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy to make ganache.
  6. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then pour the warm ganache evenly over the top.
  7. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chopped nuts if desired, and let the ganache set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a good-quality store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for best flavor. The ganache adds a glossy chocolate finish but can be skipped for a simpler cake. Chocolate shavings and nuts add a nice texture contrast.
