Caramel-Fudge Chocolate Cake image

To satisfy the chocolate lovers in our family, I added hot fudge topping and chocolate chips to a caramel-covered dessert that's quite popular in our area. The moist cake layer is a breeze to prepare using a boxed mix, and the rich toppings make it especially decadent. -Karen Stucky, Freeman, South Dakota

Ooey gooey chocolate, caramel and toffee! What's not to love? The Test Kitchen and I also tried using homemade cream cheese icing instead of store-bought vanilla... and the results were just divine. Enjoy!

Tips:

Line the cake pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature for the desired fudge consistency.
Stir in the butter and milk slowly to avoid curdling the chocolate mixture.
When making the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent burning.
Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting onto the cake.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before serving.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
