Comment préparer Liz's Chocolate Turtle Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel layer. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and ¼ cup light corn syrup over medium heat.
  10. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color.
  11. Carefully stir in ½ cup heavy cream (it will bubble up!).
  12. Remove from heat and stir in 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  13. Let the caramel cool slightly.
  14. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the caramel over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  15. Sprinkle 1 cup chopped pecans evenly over the caramel.
  16. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  17. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pecans.
  18. To cut the cake into perfect squares, use a sharp knife dipped in and wiped dry after each cut, using hot water for dipping.
  19. Serve and enjoy!
