Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce

Nestle is family, I grew up with Nestle and have enjoyed all its products. I respect this company because not only it offers quality products, but also for the fact that Nestle keeps coming up with new interesting goodies, like Nestle's Delightfulls (caramel filled morsels) which I've used in making this Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce.

When I was given the chance to try Nestle Toll House DelightFulls Filled Baking Morsels, I knew exactly what to do.

If you love caramel, you'll love this recipe. It is a pleasant surprise to find a caramel-filled morsels in every bite you take.

This cake is a perfect birthday cake, it is chocolaty and moist, and instead of the caramel sauce, you can use the frosting you desire.

Nestle Toll House DelightFulls Filled Baking Morsels, are great for baking, but they are also great in shakes. My husband have them straight from the bag and I don't blame him, these morsels are amazing.
