Betty's Time-Tested Turtle Cake
Betty demonstrates how to make Turtle Cake. This is a delicious cake that is filled with caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans.
Turtle Cake
1 standard-sized box of German Chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed in instructions)
2/3 cup evaporated milk, separated
¼ cup butter, melted
11 ounces to 14 ounces light caramels, unwrapped
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
cooking oil spray
In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix according to package directions, using the ingredients listed in the instructions. Add 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk and the melted butter. Beat well. Pour one-half of the batter into a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Bake at 350 degrees (F) 15 minutes, until only partially done. While the first half of the batter is baking, make a filling: In a small sauce pan, melt together caramels and the remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour over partially baked batter and spread until even. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top of batter. Then sprinkle pecans evenly over all. Pour remaining batter over top and spread until even. Return pan to a 350 degree (F) oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove cake from oven and cool in pan until just slightly warm or completely cool. Serve by cutting cake into squares of desired size. (To store, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.) Enjoy! --Betty :)

Hi, it’s Kristi in the Rada Cutlery kitchen, and today I want to show you how to make an incredible chocolate turtle cake.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 9” cake pans and dust with cocoa. Beat 1 package of devil’s food cake mix with 3 large eggs, 1 ¼ cups milk, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract on low with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add 1 package of chocolate instant pudding and beat again on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and 1 cup chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to wire racks and cool completely. Wrap and chill the cake layers for at least 1 hour. Whisk together 1 container of cream cheese frosting and ½ cup of dolce de leche in a small bowl.
Take 2 packages of turtle candies and cut 6 in half and set aside for the garnish. Dice the remaining turtle candies. Using a serrated knife, slice cake layers in half horizontally and make 4 layers. Place 1 layer cut side up on a cake plate. Spread with ½ cup of cream cheese frosting mixture and sprinkle with 1/3 of the diced turtle candies. Repeat this twice.
Place the final cake layer on top of the cake cut side down. Spread chocolate fudge frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Spread and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve. Before serving, drizzle caramel ice cream topping over the top of the cake. Garnish with the remaining candies and pecan halves. Store in the refrigerator.
