Ingredients

·         1 (16-ounce) box white angel food cake mix

·         2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

·         1/4 cup packed brown sugar

·         1/4 cup butter

·         3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

2. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds or until melted, stirring every 10 seconds. Drizzle chocolate over cake. Combine brown sugar and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring just until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat, and cook 4 minutes (do not stir). Remove from heat; quickly drizzle caramel over cake. Top with pecans.
