A warm ooey gooey chocolaty cake with dripping caramel, drizzled chocolate, chocolate chips and toasted pecans!
Best turtle cake, EVER!
Honestly, this cake is just not fair. Not fair that it tastes AMAZING yet it makes me feel so guilty. I took one bite and the next thing I knew, a quarter of it was GONE! I just kept digging in. Will power went right out the window.
With every bite I took, my constant words were, “Okay no, now this time… (**mouth full**) Mmmm, now THIS is my last piece, OMG (**eyes rolling to the back of the head**) Just one more bite!” C’mon! I know you’ve been there too. Don’t deny it.
If it weren’t for having to take photos of this scrumptious cake, I think I could have eaten the entire 13×9 pan to myself! No joke! I’m sure I would’ve have had the worst belly ache but it would have been SO worth it!
I could probably sit here and go on-and-on about how much I dream about this cake and how great it tastes, but seriously, this is a MUST TRY RECIPE. It’s warm and extremely moist with it’s dripping caramel and drizzled chocolate, chocolate chips and toasted pecans… need I say more?!
