Indulge in the luxurious delight of Turtle Poke Cake with its rich flavors and pleasing textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water, room temperature
- ½ cup canola oil
- 14 ounces caramel sauce (ice cream topping)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 16 ounces chocolate fudge frosting
- 8 ounces Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped
- Good quality chocolate sauce, for garnish
- Good quality caramel sauce in squeeze container, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and canola oil using a handheld mixer set to medium speed. Blend these ingredients for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour it into your pre-greased 9×13-inch glass baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Now, place your filled baking dish in the preheated oven and allow it to bake for approximately 35 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
- While your cake is still warm, take the handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes across the surface of the cake. In a separate bowl, combine the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk, whisking until smooth. Carefully pour this mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for at least one hour.
- Once the cake has cooled, whip the chocolate fudge frosting using a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until blended.
- Spread the fluffy chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled and caramel-soaked cake. Drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces decoratively over the top, then sprinkle chopped pecans. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
Notes
Ensure that your cake has fully cooled before applying the frosting to prevent melting.
