Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together chocolate cake mix, eggs, milk, melted butter, sour cream, and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the baking dish and drizzle with warmed caramel sauce. Spoon remaining batter on top.
