Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup caramel sauce, divided
- 1 can chocolate frosting
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven according to the box instructions. Prepare the cake mix with eggs, water, and oil as directed, then pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Poke the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- Add Caramel: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Frost the Cake: Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Serve: Slice the cake, adding whipped cream on each slice if desired, and enjoy the decadent flavors!
