- Sprinkle half of 1 cup pecans and half of 1 cup chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
- Pour the remaining cake batter over the caramel and topping layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining pecans and chocolate chips over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
