Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pan.
3 Bake 31 to 36 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Poke top of warm cake every 1/2 inch with handle of wooden spoon, wiping handle occasionally to reduce sticking. Reserve 1/2 cup caramel topping. Drizzle remaining caramel topping evenly over top of cake; let stand about 15 minutes or until caramel topping has been absorbed into cake. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
4 Set aside 2 tablespoons of the reserved 1/2 cup caramel topping. Stir remaining topping into frosting; spread over top of cake. Drizzle with reserved 2 tablespoons caramel topping. Store covered in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Forget the frosting! You can use an 8-oz container of frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead.

Some caramel toppings are thicker and stickier than others. If the type you purchased is too thick to pour, warm it in the microwave just until it can be poured.

This ooey-gooey, very rich cake needs to be joined by only a glass of milk or a cup of steaming coffee.

I have made these several times, always in muffin form! I use half applesauce and half the oil. No icing, just caramel on top and into the holes. Everyone raves over these and I usually make 2 batches, one in regular muffin tins, and 1 in jumbo muffin tins. I could eat them ALL if I could, with a tall glass of cold milk! Love em!!!!!

Loved this. Next time I think I would just put whipped cream on top to take away some of the sweetness. It was wonderful though and everyone loved it.
