Description

A rich and moist chocolate cake infused with caramel and topped with creamy coconut-pecan frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and buttermilk; mix until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the end of a wooden spoon.
  5. Pour sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  6. Let the cake cool completely, then spread whipped topping over the top.
  7. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
  8. Drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cake mix and add extra pecans.
