Equipment

  • Hand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Saucepan
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Wire rack for cooling

Ingredients

  • 1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 package toffee bits (11 oz)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 container chocolate frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix the German chocolate cake mix, whole milk, eggs, and canola oil with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, combine toffee bits, melted butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat to make caramel topping.
  • Once the base layer is baked, pour the warm caramel topping evenly over it and sprinkle with 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  • Dollop the remaining cake batter on top and spread it gently to cover the filling.
  • Bake the cake again for 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and let it cool for 2 hours.
