Turtle Caramel Cake

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer (but not boil).
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Turtle Caramel Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the top and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle half of the toasted pecans over the caramel.
Add the second cake layer on top. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
Drizzle extra caramel sauce and chocolate sauce over the ganache.
Sprinkle the remaining toasted pecans on top.
Garnish with whole pecans for a decorative touch.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Let the cake set for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the caramel and ganache to settle. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
