12 MINUTE TURTLE BUNDT CAKE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



12 Minute Turtle Bundt Cake Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by lisapearce

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups (16 ounce) sour cream
1 cup chocolate chips
3 eggs
Cooking spray
Caramel sauce
Chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a stoneware bundt pan, grease the inside with cooking spray. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, chocolate chips and eggs in a large bowl. Place thick cake batter into the greased stoneware bundt pan. Bake bundt pan in the microwave for 12 minutes. Allow cake to cool and sit for 10 minutes in pan. Invert onto a cake platter when slightly cooled. Top cake with caramel sauce and chopped pecans. This is served great with ice cream!

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a more consistent cake texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the mixture, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking 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, more molasses-like flavor.
  • If you don't have chopped nuts, you can use whole nuts and chop them yourself: Just be sure to chop them finely so that they don't overpower the other flavors in the cake.

Conclusion:

Turtle bundt cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist chocolate cake, gooey caramel sauce, and crunchy pecans, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this turtle bundt cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
