Mouth-watering German Chocolate Poke Cake

A rich and moist chocolate cake infused with a sweet coconut pecan frosting, creating a delightful poke cake that’s perfect for any dessert lover.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

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 container (8 oz) whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. 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.
  3. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the end of a wooden spoon.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Pour this mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  5. Sprinkle chopped pecans and shredded coconut evenly over the top.
  6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set.
  7. Before serving, spread whipped topping over the cake and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before adding them. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
