Description

A delightful dessert featuring rich chocolate cake, creamy caramel, and crunchy pecans, perfect for special occasions or simply indulging.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups Chocolate Cake Mix (like Betty Crocker SuperMoist)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a jelly roll pan by lining a 15×10-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high for 2-3 minutes until they are pale and fluffy. Add the chocolate cake mix, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  4. Once out of the oven, immediately flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake up with the towel from a short end. Let it cool completely.
  5. Cream the softened butter until smooth. Add caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  6. Unroll the cooled cake from the towel. Evenly spread the caramel buttercream over the cake’s surface. Roll the cake back up (without the towel), and place it seam-side down on a serving plate. Pour the chocolate ganache over the rolled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the chopped toasted pecans on top of the ganache. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache.

Notes

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better volume when beaten. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
