1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
    (plus ingredients to make cake)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
4 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate for baking
1 (12.25 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping, divided
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Vanilla ice cream or thawed, frozen whipped topping (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions in Classic Batter Bowl; beat until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Melt butter in Family Skillet over medium heat, tilting Skillet to coat bottom. Gently pour batter over bottom of Skillet, spreading evenly.

Bake, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until Cake Tester inserted in center comes out clean. Using Oven Mitts, carefully remove to Nonstick Cooling Rack. Loosen edges of cake with Skinny Scraper and carefully invert cake onto heat-proof serving plate.

Chop chocolate using Crinkle Cutter. Combine half of the caramel topping with chocolate in Small Batter Bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 30 to 60 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth using Skinny Scraper. Carefully spread caramel fudge glaze over cake using Large Spreader.

Chop pecans using Food Chopper; sprinkle evenly over glaze. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce, if desired. Serve with vanilla ice cream using Ice Cream Dipper or whipped topping using Easy Accent? Decorator. Serve using Slice 'N Serve.
