How to Make Caramel Fudge Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix according to package directions.
  2. Gently fold in ¾ cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips into the prepared cake batter.
  3. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Immediately after removing from the oven, poke the warm cake all over with a meat fork or skewer to create holes for the toppings.
  6. Evenly spread your favorite caramel topping (about 1 cup) over the warm cake.
  7. Next, spread a layer of your favorite fudge topping (about 1 cup) over the caramel.
  8. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, frost the cake generously with Cool Whip.
  10. Sprinkle with ½ cup (about 70g) toffee bits and the remaining chocolate chips for an extra touch of deliciousness.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
