Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)
  • Chopped nuts or toffee bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, whole milk, melted butter, baking powder, and sour cream. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Warm the caramel sauce slightly and drizzle it evenly over the batter. Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the caramel.
  3. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  4. While the cake is baking, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Add the chocolate chunks and let them sit, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  5. Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, pour the warm ganache over the top and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or chopped nuts on top. Allow the ganache to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the caramel sauce is warm before drizzling to allow for easy spreading. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
