½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the caramel
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup warm cream or milk
Instructions

In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs with sugar until light.
Add milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, then let cool.

Slowly add warm cream while stirring until smooth.
Pour caramel over the chocolate cake and let it set.
Description
This dessert is moist, rich, and deeply chocolatey, topped with silky caramel that melts into every bite. The contrast between the soft cake and the smooth caramel sauce creates a luxurious texture and flavor experience.
Tips
Use low heat when making caramel to avoid burning.
Warm the cream before adding it to the caramel for a smoother sauce.
Let the cake cool before adding caramel so it absorbs properly.
Use good-quality cocoa powder for stronger chocolate flavor.
Variations
Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
Drizzle dark chocolate ganache over the caramel.
Sprinkle sea salt on top for salted caramel chocolate.
Make it into cupcakes instead of a full cake.
Correction
If caramel hardens too fast, gently reheat and stir.
If cake is dry, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.
If cake sinks, avoid overmixing the batter.
Enjoy
Enjoy this Caramel Chocolate dessert with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk. It’s rich, satisfying, and perfect for sharing — or keeping all to yourself.
