Description

A rich and moist chocolate cake infused with caramel and topped with coconut pecan frosting, creating a delightful poke cake dessert.


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 your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the end of a wooden spoon.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  6. Follow with the caramel sauce, spreading it evenly.
  7. Let the cake cool completely, then sprinkle with chopped pecans and shredded coconut.
  8. Spread the whipped topping over the top and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before adding them. This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
