Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- For the Poke Filling:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- For the Topping:
- 1 container whipped topping (8 oz)
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce until well combined. Pour this mixture over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then spread the whipped topping evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle the toffee bits and chocolate shavings on top before serving.
Notes
- This cake can be made a day in advance; just cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
