Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sundae topping
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup salted caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the Devil’s Food cake mix according to package instructions. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cool, use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Drizzle the caramel sundae topping on top of the cake.
- Cover the cake with whipped topping and sprinkle with chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top for an extra sweet touch.
Notes
Let the cake cool completely before adding toppings to prevent them from melting. You can make this cake a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
