CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE & ALMOND GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
Wow, what a cake! We fell in love with this recipe at first bite. The Crew and I prepared this cake once using caramel cake mix and once using a butter cake mix. Happily, it turned out wonderfully both ways. A funny thing happened while we were preparing to take this cake's picture... we got the plate all fixed for the photo,...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.
- 2. In a mixing bowl mix together the cake mix, one stick of melted butter and one egg until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. On top of the crust sprinkle the mini chocolate chips, toffee bits and toasted almonds.
- 3. In the same mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and the Dulce de Leche until combined.
- 4. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar and melted butter. Whip on medium high speed so that all of the ingredients come together nicely. Pour the filling over the crust and place into the oven.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When you remove it from the oven, the cake will still appear a little "jiggly." This means you did a great job not over baking the cake!
- 6. GLAZE: Melt 1/2 cup of additional chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in the microwave. Stir until completely smooth then drizzle over the cake before serving.
- 7. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature then drizzle with chocolate glaze and sprinkle with toffee bits. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat the oven to 325 F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix almond paste and butter on low speed, 1 minute. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Turn mixer up to medium and add the eggs one at a time to the almond paste mixture. Allow each egg to completely incorporate into the batter, about 30 seconds, before adding the next one; this will ensure a smooth batter. Slowly add flour and continue mixing just to incorporate, 10-15 seconds.
- Prepare a springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper (this will prevent the cake from sticking). Pour batter into the pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Parbake until lightly golden, 10 minutes.
- Caramel topping: While cake is in the oven, add ½ cup cream, sugar, glucose, and butter to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook undisturbed until caramel is light brown and registers 244 F on a kitchen thermometer, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almonds to combine. As you stir, avoid scraping up any browned caramel that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove cake from the oven; it will be gooey and not fully cooked. Carefully pour the warm caramel onto the cake; spread evenly. Return to the oven; bake until the caramel is golden brown and bubbly, 10 minutes.
- Remove cake from oven and let cool, 10-15 minutes. The top will firm up as it cools. Remove cake from pan by running a knife around the edge, then remove the sides from the base. (Keep the cake on the base for serving.) While the cake is cooling, whip cream for serving: Place remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form, 30 seconds. Slice cooled cake into wedges and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. The higher the percentage of cacao, the richer and more intense the chocolate flavor will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use a 10x15 inch pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- To make the caramel sauce, you can use either light or dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will give the sauce a richer flavor.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel sauce by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Make sure the cake is completely cooled before pouring the caramel sauce on top. Otherwise, the caramel sauce will melt the frosting.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This caramel chocolate almond gooey butter cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
