Rich and delicious! I used walnuts instead of pecans (had those on hand) and they fit right in.

This recipe is really good but I like add walnuts also along with white chocolate chips...of course you have to adjust the measurements. :)

This is pretty good turtle cake. Just make sure not to over heat your caramel mixture. If it is really hot it will just make the cake mushy.

I have made this cake for years, and yes, it is fabulous. I do like others by cutting back on the butter in the carmel sauce. I never frost it, I find it rich enough already.It is best served cooled with coffee.

This was a wonderful cake, although it took some time to make... definitely worth it! We used a regular chocolate cake mix (not german chocolate) but thought it was better anyway. Thanks for a great recipe!

Very rich and a fun twist on chocolate cake. I wasn't impressed with the icing when I made it so I threw it out and made a chocolate buttercream instead. The cake was delicious!

YUMMY!!!! This cake was really easy to make and tasted SO good! I used 2/3 cup evaporated milk and 1/4 cup butter and I got a great consistency with the caramel. Also, I would recommend after baking the first layer to trim the top off, so that the cake remains even because once you pour the caramel on, it tends to pool at the edges. Next time I will definitely do that!

This turned out awesome. Only changes I made to the recipe was I used regular chocolate cake mix and then I topped the cake with milk chocolate icing. I will make this again many times I'm sure.

I've made this exact recipe for, I hate to say it but, 20 years. The cake is always a hit. The second baking does need to be 25-30 min, to get the center done. This is not a cake to serve hot. It tastes better cooled and then the filling is solidified. A great cake to make the evening before you serve it. My kids love to help unwrap the caramels...of course a few never make it to the cake, but that doesn't matter. Enjoy!!

Per my boyfriend's request, he asked that I incorporate some "sweet stuff" into our dinner menus. I'm not a fan of sweets so I scoured this site high and low looking for a recipe that we could both enjoy. Since we both like the turles candies, I thought this would be great to try. Boy was it heavenly! And since I don't bake much, this was really easy. Even my daughter (5yrs old) helped me! My boyfriend topped it off with ice cream...very good and deserves 5 stars. It was esspecially tasty after having lemon mushroom herb chicken, also found on this site...first sour followed by sweet! The only thing, it was hard to tell when it was done baking because of the carmel (as others have stated) but still very good! Thanks Debbie...my boyfriend sends his compliments!

This cake was delicious and SO easy to make! I added Caramel frosting to the top of the cake once it cooled down. I let it cool overnight, and the caramel was very gooey. So delicious! I will definitely make this again!

Very good. I used devils food cake mix as I didn't have german chocolate. I also used one or two tablespoons less butter than it asked for in the caramel mixture. Delicious. Some people wondered where the icing on top went. It looks unfinished without something so I sprinkling just a bit of powdered sugar on top. I was asked to make this again. It's a hit.

Wow, this is great! I took suggestions from the reviews for Turtle Cake II and adjusted the butter/milk mixture to the following: 1/4C. butter, 2/3C. milk and the caramel mixture was thick and delicious. This couldn't be easier. The only thing that took any time was unwrapping the caramels. Great recipe!!

Wonderful cake! It was a bit hard to tell when it was done because the toothpick test doesn't work well with caramel. Thanks for the recipe!

This was one of the best cakes I have ever made! A little time consuming, but very worth it. It is good with icing, but just as good without. If you put it in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving the caramel thickens and becomes more gooey. Very yummy! I used devils food cake mix instead of german chocolate, just my preference.
