My family calls this festive dessert âturtle cakeâ because of the delectable candy bits in the moist cake layers and the gooey-good filling. Itâs an impressive-looking cake but quite easy to make, as youâll see from the recipe. Ingredients:
1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size) |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup canola oil |
3 eggs |
1 package (7 ounces) milk chocolate turtle candies, chopped, divided |
1 tablespoon baking cocoa |
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping |
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting |
additional milk chocolate turtle candies, broken, optional |
Directions:
1. Line two 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper; grease the paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, buttermilk, oil and eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Combine 1 cup candies and cocoa; fold into batter.
2. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Remove waxed paper.
3. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add caramel topping; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in remaining candies.
4. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with chocolate frosting. Top with remaining cake layer; frost top and sides of torte with cream mixture. Garnish with additional candies if desired. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 12 servings.
