For the Cake

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 pieces eggs

Preparation

- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Baking
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring them onto wire racks to cool completely.
Making the Topping
- While the cakes cool, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan, heat the caramel sauce over low heat until warm and smooth.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is uniform.
- Stir in the chopped nuts and remove from the heat.
Layering and Serving
- Once the cakes are completely cool, layer one cake on a serving plate. Pour half of the caramel topping over it, spreading it evenly.
- Place the second cake on top and pour the remaining caramel topping over the top layer. Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes to set.
- Slice and enjoy your Turtle Caramel Cake!
