Salted Caramel-Chocolate Dump Cake

Salted Caramel-Chocolate Dump Cake

Chocolate, caramel, a pinch of salt, some more chocolate.  Add some pudding and milk and what do you get?  A delicious quick and easy cake.  This is by far the best dump cake I have ever tasted.  It has a texture similar to a cake brownie.  The caramel and the salt make this cake.  They add the little extra goodness that puts this cake in a class by itself.

The ingredients are basic: cake mix, a package of instant chocolate pudding, milk, caramels, coarse sea salt, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and whipped cream which is optional.   First you mix the pudding and milk together.  You then add the cake mix and stir.  The batter is very thick.  Spread the batter evenly into a prepared baking dish.  Sprinkle the caramels over the cake mix followed by a sprinkling of sea salt.  The cake is baked for about 30-40 minutes.  Remove the cake from the oven and cool.  In the meantime, melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave.  Once the chips have melted, drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cake.  Your cake is ready to serve.  If you wish you can serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream.  I used Reddi Wip and everyone loved it.
