Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare cake batter according to package instructions using milk, eggs, and oil.
Step 2: First Bake Layer
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Step 3: Prepare Caramel
While cake bakes, melt caramel candies with evaporated milk over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Step 4: Add Filling
Pour melted caramel over the partially baked cake. Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped pecans evenly over the top.
Step 5: Add Remaining Batter
Carefully spread the remaining cake batter over the caramel and toppings.
Step 6: Final Bake
Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cake is set.
Step 7: Cool and Decorate
Allow cake to cool slightly. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with additional pecans. Add chocolate drizzle if desired.
Notes
Be careful not to overbake the cake after adding caramel, as this can cause the caramel layer to harden too much instead of staying gooey.
