Ingredients:
For the Cake:
• 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
For the Caramel Filling:
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Chocolate Ganache:
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
Optional Garnish:
• Chopped Milky Way bars or other chocolate/caramel candy
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box (usually with eggs, water, and oil). Mix well until smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Caramel Filling:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the caramel sauce and heavy cream over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
4. Assemble the Cake:
1. Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
2. Spread a generous layer of caramel filling on the bottom layer of the cake.
3. Place the second cake layer on top and pour the chocolate ganache over the entire cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
4. Optional: Garnish with chopped Milky Way bars or other chocolate/caramel candy for extra sweetness and decoration.
5. Serve:
1. Let the cake set for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy the indulgent goodness!
