Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, combine the 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, 0.5 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Beat with a mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
Once the cake is cool, slice into 8 pieces. Place one slice on each plate. Top each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 0.25 cup per serving).
Step 4
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over each serving. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately.
