How to Make Chocolate Caramel Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup milk until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 14 oz (397g) caramels and 1/4 cup water. Stir constantly until the caramels are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Let the caramel sauce cool slightly for about 3 minutes.
- Once the cake is completely cool, cut into squares and place on a serving plate.
- Drizzle generously with the caramel sauce and add whipped cream (optional).
