Preheat your oven according to cake mix instructions.

Combine all ingredients listed and bake cake according to box instructions.

While cake is still warm, poke holes in cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.

Pour caramel over top of cake and spread over the entire top, allowing it to fill the holes and absorb into cake.

Let cake completely cool.

Spread frosting over caramel layer.

Drizzle caramel in lines lengthwise along cake.

Take a knife and drag across the lines of caramel in the opposite direction that you poured them. (from top to bottom “shortwise”) creating a pattern.
