Description

This Chocolate Caramel Dump Cake is a decadent and easy-to-make dessert combining rich chocolate cake mix with luscious caramel sauce and chocolate chips. Baked to perfection in one dish, it’s perfect for quick gatherings or a comforting sweet treat. The cake is moist and gooey with a delightful caramel drizzle, topped optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Mixture

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Serving Suggestions

  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and uniform batter without lumps.
  3. Add Caramel and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the caramel sauce and chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of sweet caramel goodness and melty chocolate pieces throughout the cake.
  4. Pour into Baking Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly for consistent baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Drizzle Caramel: While the cake is still warm, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for an extra layer of flavor and moisture.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to enhance the dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the caramel sauce is smooth and pourable for easy mixing and drizzling.
  • You can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly for easier slicing and serving.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the cake mix with a gluten-free chocolate cake mix.
  • This cake is best enjoyed warm but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
