Salted Caramel-Chocolate Dump Cake

More About This Recipe

• I don’t know what happened. One minute, I was minding my own business and before I knew it, I was dumping chocolate pudding, chocolate cake mix, caramels and sea salt into a pan. And then, seconds later, I was placing the pan into the oven. Once my kitchen smelled like heavenly, desserty things, I pulled the cake out of the oven and WHAT – drizzled it with more chocolate! And soon after that, I was inhaling the cake by the handful, alternated with spritzes of whipped cream from the can directly into my mouth. It was insane! Like I said, I have NO IDEA how that happened. I guess I’m glad it did, though, otherwise I never would have discovered the miracle that is Salted Caramel-Chocolate Dump Cake, a.k.a. the easiest, most delicious cake in all the land. It’s not called a dump cake for any reasons other than good ones – like dumping a bunch of yummy ingredients together into a pan and letting them all bake together and do their thang and before you know it, finish off as a legitimate cake. And of course, no cake is complete without a warm, gooey chocolate drizzle and a dollop of cool whipped cream, amiright?? Ta-dum! Look at you and your super-swift cake baking talents. Do you see this madness? DO YOU? It’s no wonder this cake bewitched me into making it. Sheesh.
