Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
Wet Ingredients & Toppings
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Spread Cake Mix: Pour the entire box of chocolate cake mix evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out for uniform baking.
- Add Caramel and Condensed Milk: Drizzle one cup of caramel sauce and the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the dry cake mix, allowing the flavors to meld during baking.
- Pour Melted Butter: Evenly pour half a cup of melted unsalted butter over the mixture, which will create a moist and rich texture as it bakes.
- Top with Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Sprinkle half a cup of chocolate chips and optionally a quarter cup of chopped nuts on top to add texture and extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown, bubbly, and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking to set before slicing and serving for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the caramel sauce with butterscotch sauce for a different flavor twist.
- Use any variety of nuts such as pecans or walnuts, or omit them for a nut-free option.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Make sure to grease the baking dish well to avoid sticking since this is a dump cake.
