Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

- Let glaze set before serving.
Notes
For best results, use a thick caramel sauce to prevent it from running off the cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. This cake is perfect for special occasions and can be garnished with extra pecans or a dusting of cocoa powder.
