Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 (18.25 ounce) box devil's food chocolate cake mix (such as Betty Crocker® Super Moist®)
1 ⅓ cups water
3 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping, divided
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ cup pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour the bottom and sides of a 12-inch stainless steel, oven-safe skillet with shortening and flour, tapping out any excess flour.
  • Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into the bottom of the prepared skillet.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen and carefully invert onto a large round platter. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1/2 of the caramel topping with the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high until chocolate is melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Stir mixture until combined and smooth; carefully spread over the cake.
  • Sprinkle cake with pecans and drizzle remaining caramel topping over top. Let stand until topping is set. Cut into wedges to serve.

This is a quick and wonderful cake for guests, birthdays or just you guys. It helps if you have a 12" non-stick skillet like the executive skillet from the Pampered Chef. Dont try this with a stainless pan. I love this pan for cakes because it has the simplicity of a 9x13 pan but the sexy looks of a layer cake. And the pan...

Tips:
