Description
A rich and indulgent chocolate poke cake inspired by German chocolate flavors, featuring layers of moist cake soaked in caramel and topped with coconut pecan frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil, and eggs. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the end of a wooden spoon.
- In a bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Pour mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream on top.
Notes
For a extra luxurious touch, add a layer of fresh berries before serving. Ensure the cake is fully cooled before refrigerating to avoid sogginess.
