This was a great cake.I made it for a party I was having and everyone loved it.Everyone always askes me if I'm making this cake when thay come over now.The only thing I did diffrent is I made it in a bunt pan.Then I put it in the ice box over night. I took it out of the pan the next day put it on a cake plate.I melted the frosting just a little in the microwave and drizzled it on the top.It looked nice and was very good.Thanks again for this recipe.

Delicious, extremely rich. I followed all the directions to a "t"...I don't know if this happened to anyone else, so I thought I would warn. M caramel became like a volcano (lifting the cooked top layer)after putting in the caramel and second layer of cake. So beware, it my be a little messy and don't burn yourself.

I love this recipe. I have been making this exact recipe since I was in grade school and it's always a big hit. The only thing I change is I use 4 oz of evaporated milk.

A disaster. WAY too much liquid for the caramel. Just melt the caramels with the slightest amount of milk and butter. Following the recipe as written results in a molten mess. Flavor is also very uneven. I made this for a birthday and now have to find something else to make since this is totally unacceptable.

This is delicious. I would give it 5 stars but I made adjustments. I eliminated the evaporated milk and used 2/3 cup milk instead. And for the butter I used 1/4 cup and am considering using less next time. Also, when I made the cake as directed on the box, I used applesauce instead of the oil. Turned out wonderful!

In a word...FABULOUS!!! Easy, quick. The only change i made was i frosted the cake with milk chocolate frosting, which was delish! Very rich. Oh, and when caramel came out of the micro, it was separated, so i took a whisk (egg beater) and whisked the caramel for about 2-3 minutes and it was PERFECT! So YUMMY! THANKS!!!

After making some modifications this rating would be a 5. As other reviewers mentioned I cut the butter (I did 1/2 c.), also I wish the time could be a little bit more specific. The cake looked the same at 20 minutes and then at 30 minutes. For what it is worth I have a gas oven and it turned out perfect (even though it still looked a little wobbly) at 30 minutes. So to make it short and sweet, less butter, 30 minutes and a 5 star rating.

I have been making this cake for potlucks at work for several years now. It is always a hit and requested by EVERYONE. I would recommend on cutting back on the butter just a little to make the caramel just a little thicker. Either way, it's delicious!!!

Okay, I did a half-recipe and used one Jiffy Devil's Food cake mix. I only had maybe 20 or 25 caramels, 6 of which were chocolate, so I melted them in a pot with about 2 TBS butter and around 3 TBS 2% milk. The caramel mix is tasting great. :) I'm going to omit the chocolate chips and pecans (out of both!) but I'm going to sprinkle white chocolate chips over the caramel layer. Once it's done, I'll update my review!

Yummy! Accidently poured more than half of the batter into the pan, so when I did put the caramel filling on top of the first half of the batter, it sank to the bottom. Still tasted delicious! Put a little bit of store bought frosting and it was a big hit!

This cake was a huge hit! I reduced the amount of butter as suggested by others and added about 8 extra caramels. I also used a chocolate butter cream frosting (recipe from this site). I will definitely be making this cake again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is an old favorite of my family however we cool the cake and frost it with Coconut Pecan Frosting and use butter instead of margarine. Excellant....

Yummy! If you have an Air Bake cake pan, use it for this recipe. It will help keep the first cake layer from forming a raised center...as one other review pointed out, if the cake is raised in the center, the caramel pools into the corners and edges, leaving the center without much of the good stuff. I also used only 1/4 c. butter in the caramel mixture, in fact I wonder if the 3/4 c. is a typo. There's just no reason for that much butter. I also substituted 1/2 c. milk instead of the 2/3 c. evaporated milk. The caramel mixture seemed alarmingly thin when I first spread it on the cake, but it worked out just fine. Next time I'll try baking it just a little longer for the second cake layer. It is hard to tell when it's done, and I don't think 20 minutes was enough. Regardless, it was a HUGE it at my most recent family gathering! I'm going to make it again this weekend.
