We are celebrating a birthday at work tomorrow, and I wanted to make something with the chocolate cake mixes in my pantry. I found this recipe, and I knew my friend at work would love to have a cake full of chocolate and caramel. I made two small square cakes. One for the birthday party and one for my husband (he had chocolate chips added to his).

You are so nice Meg – I wish I worked in your office
Oh my goodness! That looks and sounds so incredible! Wowza!
Wow – another killer recipe! I’m going to try this, but with my homemade chocolate cake. This reminds me of Tres Leches in a way, too, with the sweetened condensed milk poured over the top…Mmmmmm…
Wow, that looks amazing!

I’m thinking the condensed milk poured on would make it nice and moist! Ha AHH i hate that word but whatev.
wow that sounds insanely good! i’m a huge fan of anything with condensed milk in it!
This looks great! An easy way to make a “regular” chocolate cake something special. (And what isn’t better with caramel sauce added?)

Chocolate cake with caramel — YUM! My daughter made brownies a while ago and poked holes in them, then filled the holes with peanut butter, then frosted them with chocolate frosting. It was holy yum!
i have another name for this cake…we call it the “better than sex cake.” i suppose it’s best left to each individual person as to how they feel about it…
