Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar (for caramel)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, blend together the German chocolate cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
  4. For the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, unsalted butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  5. In a skillet, toast pecans with melted butter and granulated sugar over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until golden.
  6. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cooled cake and sprinkle with pecans while still tacky. Let set for about 15 minutes before serving.
