This cake is layered in heavenly rich chocolate, caramel buttercream, caramel sauce, and chopped pecans. A super moist, chocolatey, caramelly, and delicious celebration cake that pleases the crowd.
Well, hello there gorgeous! Would you believe if I tell you that this cake is not difficult to make? It may look intimidating but believe me, you, yeah you can even make such a delicious and pretty cake like that of a pastry shop. I’m no chef but when I first made this Turtle flavored dessert, I nailed it! My secret? I just closely followed the direction below. LOL. This beauty has four layers of moist and fudgy chocolate cake layers, salted caramel buttercream frosting, with a homemade salted caramel pecan sauce. The caramel drip and chopped pecans on top are a masterpiece! I’ve never seen such a pretty concoction in my life! This might need a little practice to perfect but it’s so darn irresistible, tempting, I want to make it over and over again.
