Turtle Caramel Cake Recipe

For the Topping:

• 1½ cups chopped pecans
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Caramel sauce (prepared above)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Turtle Caramel Cake

1. Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated.
4. Slowly add the boiling water, mixing gently until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin—this ensures a moist and tender cake.

2. Bake the Cakes

1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Caramel Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula. It will clump before melting into a deep amber liquid.
2. Carefully add the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously. The mixture will bubble vigorously—this is normal.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the caramel cool to room temperature before using.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of caramel sauce over the top, followed by a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
2. Add the second cake layer and repeat with another layer of caramel sauce and pecans.
