Gooey Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cake Roll

A decadent chocolate cake roll filled with gooey caramel, pecans, and chocolate chips for a rich turtle-inspired dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Add cocoa, vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Fold in flour until just combined.
  3. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
  4. Immediately invert cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll cake and towel together from the short side. Cool completely.
  5. Unroll cake carefully. Spread caramel sauce evenly, then sprinkle pecans and chocolate chips. Whip cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then spread over filling.
  6. Re-roll cake without the towel. Chill for 1 hour before slicing. Drizzle with extra caramel if desired.

Notes
