An indulgent dessert that combines rich chocolate, gooey caramel, and a hint of creaminess, perfect for gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 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
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)
  • Chopped nuts or toffee bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, whole milk, melted butter, baking powder, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the baking dish, drizzle the warmed caramel sauce over it, then spoon the remaining batter on top of the caramel.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
  5. While the cake bakes, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Once warm, add the chocolate chunks. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then stir until smooth to create the ganache.
  6. After cooling for 10 minutes, pour the ganache over the cake. Garnish with chocolate shavings or chopped nuts/toffee bits as desired, and let it set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
