German Chocolate Poke Cake – A Decadent Delight You’ll Love!

This German Chocolate Poke Cake is a heavenly combination of moist chocolate cake, rich caramel, and the signature coconut-pecan topping. Every bite is a taste of indulgence that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients:

1 box German chocolate cake mix (and ingredients needed per box instructions)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Bake the Cake:
Prepare the German chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake it in a 9×13-inch pan and let it cool for about 10 minutes after baking.

Poke the Cake:
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about an inch apart.

Pour the Filling:
In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce together. Slowly pour the mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.

Top with Whipped Topping:
Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.

Add the Coconut and Pecans:
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the whipped topping to create that classic German chocolate flavor.

Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. The cake gets even better after it sits, so you can make it ahead of time!

This cake is sure to wow any crowd and will be gone before you know it!
