Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix in pecans. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. Adding a bit of confectioners' sugar while mixing will help to smooth it even more.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overcook. Overcooked cakes will be dry.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting. Otherwise, the cakes may fall apart.
- Be patient when making the caramel. It takes time for the sugar to caramelize. Don't stir the caramel too much, or it will crystallize.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the caramel. This will help to prevent the caramel from scorching.
- Once the caramel is made, let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cake. If the caramel is too hot, it will melt the frosting.

This Nutty Caramel Ice Cream Cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
