- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan for about 30 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then poke holes all over the top using a wooden spoon handle.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake so it seeps into the holes.
- Drizzle caramel sauce across the top.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in coconut and pecans until warmed; spread over the cake.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering; pour over chocolate chips in a bowl, let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth. Spread over the topping.
