Easy Texas Turtle Sheet Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the cake: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Add in the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until completely smooth.

  4. Slowly pour in hot water and mix until fully incorporated.

  5. Pour and spread the thin batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.

  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Test for doneness with a toothpick.

  7. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

  8. While the cake cools, make the caramel pecan topping by combining brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and let bubble for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

  9. Stir in chopped pecans and pour the warm topping evenly over the cooled cake.

  10. For the ganache, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.

  11. Spread the ganache over the pecans and let the cake sit for 1 hour before slicing.
