Are you a caramel fan? Well, I Â definitely am and today is a day for all caramel lover’s because it is National Caramel Day! In honor of this magnificent day, I have a delicious new turtle cake recipe for you that includes caramel.
Also, I teamed up with the #celebratingfoodholidays bloggers to provide you 21+ other scrumptious caramel recipes. Be sure to check out all of the recipes below. There’s just something about that gooey buttery caramel flavor. It calls to me!
With the recipe I am sharing today, you start off with a regular boxed cake mix. However, with just a few extra ingredients, including caramel, you get this amazing turtle cake!
Turtle Cake
Ingredients
- 1 (around 15.2 oz) German chocolate cake mix
- 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits (found by the chocolate chips at the grocery store)
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour half of the cake batter into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the caramel bits, evaporated milk and butter to a sauce pan. Cook slowly over low heat while stirring until melted and creamy.
- When the cake is done cooking pour this caramel mixture over the cooked cake followed by 1 cup of the nuts and the chocolate chips. Pour the remaining cake mixture over it and then sprinkle the remaining cup of nuts over the cake. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Allow cake to cool and serve. Serves 12.

I love anything chocolate and caramel, so this cake sounds incredible! I love the idea of using the caramel bits instead of caramels. I bet it melts so much faster.
