Nani's Rich Chocolate Caramel Poke Cake
This incredibly moist chocolate cake is soaked in sweet caramel and topped with creamy whipped frosting and crunchy toffee bits.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a poke cake. By poking holes into the warm cake, you let the caramel sauce seep into every single bite, making it stay perfectly moist for days.
My family loves this recipe because it feels like a fancy dessert but is actually very simple to put together. For the best texture, make sure you let the cake cool for just a few minutes before you start poking your holes.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box
- 1 jar caramel ice cream topping
- 1 container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup crushed toffee bits
👩🍳Instructions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap to keep the whipped topping fresh. If you want an extra touch, drizzle a little more caramel over individual slices right before serving.
