This cake is neat! I made information technology for my mom's birthday but my dad concluded up eating the majority of it, he thought it was more similar a brownie. I was a little concerned about the baking time existence likewise long but it turned out perfect. I used my favorite frosting(Kittencal's Chocolate Buttercream Frosting/Icing). Thanks for sharing the excellent recipe!
This is the Turtle Cake recipe I have that my mom has made for years!! It is soooo good and sooo rich!! I like it with a chocolate/Devils nutrient block rather than German chocolate it makes information technology richer. We besides frost it with a dark chocolate frosting.
I only fabricated this for the 2d time. Thanks for the tip most cut effectually the cake after removing it from the oven. Everyone loves this cake. Caramel and chocolate brand this cake a wonderful combination. I find that it piece of cake to put together. I cook a couple of snack size Snickers bars and add to the the chocolate block and I drizzle a chocolate glaze on top of the cake. Excellent!!
Its a winner,fabricated it B.C.Super Moist Devils Food block mix.Added heath brickle to the cake batter and changed the semi sweets to milk choc/carmel swirls and plain m.c bits. Information technology fixes that chocolate spot. Topped it off with chocolate butter cream frosting. Yep it's one you want to keep when chocolate fixes everything.
This was sooo yummy!! I tried this in a bundt pan: non the most successful, as the melted caramel mixture hardened in the middle of the cake & information technology took forever to bake! Recommend sticking to the 9x13 pan, as the recipe states (LOL) I used Hershey Kisses instead of chocolate fries for the occasional chocolate explosion. Thanks for posting!
