The beauty of the bundt is how easy and impressive it can be all at the same time! This one is no exception--a chocolate cake with caramel, pecans, and the surprise ingredient, chocolate pudding, mixed in for extra moistness, baked and topped with buttery caramel sauce, a rich chocolate glaze and chopped pecans completes this beautiful cake.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    It is very important to use baking spray with flour for coating the pan. It will help with successful removal from the pan.
  • tip 2
    To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown. Another method is to heat the oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in an ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
