Mouth-watering German Chocolate Poke Cake

This indulgent German Chocolate Poke Cake features a moist chocolate base soaked with caramel and topped with a rich coconut-pecan frosting.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) 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) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup for drizzling

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 bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Pour evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  5. Sprinkle chopped pecans and shredded coconut over the top.
  6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set.
  7. Spread whipped topping over the cooled cake and drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the pecans and coconut before adding. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
