Caramel, Chocolate & Almond Gooey Butter Cake image

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,...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box caramel cake mix
1 can(s) dulce de leche [13.4 oz.]
16 oz powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 stick melted butter, divided
4 large eggs
1/3 c slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 c toffee bits
1/3 c mini chocolate chips, plus 1/2 cup
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla

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.

The caramel sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this cake is amazing.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and he loved it! The almond topping was a nice touch.

This recipe is easy to follow and the result is a delicious, moist cake. I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and it was perfect.
