Today is National Caramel Day. Here's an easy recipe for Chocolate Caramel Poke Cake adapted from my good friend Elsie the Cow!
There are all kinds of Poke Cake recipes, but basically a Poke Cake is a cake that's been poked with the bottom of a wooden spoon as soon as it's hot out of the oven. Then liquid--in this case caramel sauce--is poured over it. Yum! O.K. this is a real retro recipe, but if you make it, you're going to love it!
Chocolate Caramel Poke Cake
Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1-14 oz. can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1-14 oz. jar of caramel topping (Rechiutti Caramel sauce)
Container of Cool Whip
Bag of Toffee Bits or crumbled Heath Bars
Directions
Mix Eagle Brand milk and caramel together (warm up, if you need to).
Prepare the cake as instructed on box. Bake in rectangular pan.
Remove cake from oven
when done and poke holes in top of cake (I use the bottom of a wooden spoon) and pour caramel
mixture evenly over cake while cake is still hot.
Refrigerate for at least two hours
Spread with Cool Whip
Sprinkle with Toffee Bits
I like the name: caramel poke cake.
