Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cake

Cake Recipes | 0 comments

Mmmm, I love Turtles! This cake is kind of an upside down Turtles cake (since the pecans are on the top). I made this one year for my cousin Kathy’s birthday, because she is fond of caramel. Top it off with a scoop of caramel swirl ice cream.
