So for mother's day yesterday, I made a beautiful cake. It was a "Chocolate Turtle" Cake--basically chocolate cake mix with chocolate pudding, pecans and chocolate chips thrown into the mix. The cake was then cut in half so there were four pieces. These were layered with cream cheese/dulche du leche frosting and Turtle candies in between the layers. Finally, it was covered in chocolate frosting with dulche du leche drizzled over the top with more pecans and candies.
It was a bit of a mess to get together. I had some trouble slicing the cakes without them breaking and the bottom of one of the cakes broke when I took it out of the pan to cool but it came together nicely anyway.

The cake was absolutely delicious, very chocolate-y. The only suggestion I would make is maybe taking the candies out of the layers in between--they got a little hard to chew. But it was still DELICIOUS!
