Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add in the cake mix, water, and oil, mixing until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar and transfer the warm cake onto it. Roll the cake with the towel and let it cool.
  5. Beat the unsalted butter until fluffy, then add caramel sauce, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  6. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the caramel buttercream evenly. Carefully re-roll the cake.
  7. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan, then pour over the chocolate chips and stir until melted.
  8. Place the cake on a serving platter, pour the ganache over it, and sprinkle with pecans.
  9. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
