Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Turtles Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
Next, prepare the German chocolate cake mix as directed on the package, then pour just under half of the luscious batter into your greased dish.
Step 3
Bake this delightful base in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing it to set just enough before the magic happens.
Step 4
While the cake is baking, grab a microwave-safe bowl and combine caramels, evaporated milk, and butter.
Step 5
Microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until the mixture transforms into a smooth, velvety caramel, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Once your cake has had its initial bake, remove it from the oven and pour the melted caramel mixture generously over the top.
Step 7
Sprinkle chopped pecans and chocolate chips evenly across the caramel layer, adding a delightful crunch and richness.
Step 8
Finally, pour the remaining cake batter over this tempting layer of caramel and toppings, creating a beautiful, layered masterpiece.
Step 9
Return the dish to the oven and bake until the center springs back when gently pressed, which should take about 20 to 35 minutes.
Step 10
Your kitchen will soon be filled with the irresistible aroma of baked goodness, inviting everyone to indulge in this decadent treat.
