Delicious Caramel Turtle Poke Cake
This indulgent Caramel Turtle Poke Cake combines rich caramel, smooth chocolate, and crunchy pecans for a dessert that's perfect for any occasion. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce (divided into 1/2 cup portions)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for added crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the yellow cake mix box. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the yellow cake mix as directed on the box, typically combining eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of caramel sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until smooth and warm. Pour the warm caramel mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 cup of caramel sauce in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate-caramel mixture over the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months.
