This is like the one I make - can be made with chocolate cake mix too (my fav)!
Turtle Cake
12 servings 1¼ hours 15 min prep
1 (14 ounce) bag caramels
5 ounces evaporated milk
1 box German chocolate cake mix, with pudding (the one that uses oil)
3/4 cup butter, room temp
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups pecans, chopped
Heat oven to 350*.
Line 13x9 pan with foil and lightly grease the foil.
In small saucepan, slowly heat caramels and milk stirring until melted.
Prepare cake, using only 1/2 the oil called for.
Beat on low 1 minute, add butter, beat on hi 2 minutes.
Spread 1/2 the batter in pan.
Bake for 13 minutes.
Pour caramel mix over cake; spread to edges.
Sprinkle with 1 cup choc chips and 1 cup pecans.
Spoon remaining batter over; spread to edges.
Bake for 40 minutes or until cake puffs up around the sides of pan and springs back when touched.
Set the cake on a wire rack to cool.
Melt remaining choc chips; spread over cooled cake; sprinkle with remaining pecans.
