German Chocolate Poke Cake
Calories
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz Chocolate Cake Mix (I like using Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge) + what you need to make the cake. In this case 3 eggs, 1 cup water, ½ cup oil
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- ⅔ cups chopped pecans
- ⅔ sweetened flaked coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the box cake as indicated on the box with the instructions.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared bakeware and bake for 28 to 33 minutes or until a toothpick comes back clean when inserted in the middle.
- Cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, mix in a medium size mixing bowl brown sugar, melted butter and condensed milk. Mix until all combined.
- Once your cake is baked and completely cool, with a straw, make holes.
- Pour the sweet milk mixture over the cake making sure to spread all over. *NOTE* For this step you may need to use a knife and with a movement like you are buttering a toast move the milk mixture over the hole is it can go in the cake.
- Let the cake and the sweet milk mixture set for 5 minutes.
- Giving you just enough time to mix the coconut and the pecans together.
- Evenly spread the coconut and pecans over the cake as a topping.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
If you want to make the cake creamier you can add ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream to the sweetened condensed milk but it's not necessary!
