Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE CAKE:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce

FOR THE GANACHE:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Chopped nuts or toffee bits

Instructions

  1. PREPARE THE CAKE BATTER: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, eggs, milk, melted butter, baking powder, and sour cream until smooth.
  2. LAYER THE CARAMEL: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Warm the caramel sauce slightly, then drizzle it evenly over the batter. Gently spoon the remaining batter over the caramel, spreading it lightly to cover.
  3. BAKE TO PERFECTION: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  4. MAKE THE GANACHE: While the cake is baking, heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until hot but not boiling. Add the chocolate chunks and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  5. FINISH AND SERVE: Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Pour the warm ganache over the top and spread evenly. Add chocolate shavings or chopped nuts if desired. Let the ganache set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
