Chocolate Toffee Poke Cake
Yield: 12 cake squares
Prep Time: 20 minutes / Bake Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 boxes devil’s food chocolate cake mix
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 8 ounce container frozen cool whip
- 1 cup toffee bits/Heath bar bits
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan with baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, add the devil food cake mixes, eggs, vegetable oil, water and milk. Whisk together until completely combined and smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, let cool for 10 minutes. Use the stick of a wooden spoon to create holes all around the sheet cake.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk all over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Pour the caramel sauce on top as well.
Cover with foil and let sit and cool completely in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This also allows the condensed milk and caramel to soak into the cake.
Let the cool whip thaw during the last 30 minutes of baking before removing from the oven.
Once the cake has fully cooled, spread the thawed cool whip all over the sheet cake.
Top with crushed toffee bits or heath bar bits.
Cut, serve and enjoy!
FAQ Section
Can I use a homemade chocolate cake instead of a boxed devil’s food cake mix?
Absolutely! While the boxed mix is a convenient option, a homemade chocolate cake will work wonderfully and might even add a personal touch to your toffee poke cake.
What type of caramel sauce should I use?
You can use store-bought caramel sauce for convenience, but if you’re feeling adventurous, homemade caramel sauce can elevate the flavor even more. Just make sure it’s thick enough to seep into the cake’s poked holes.
Can I substitute the Heath bars with another type of candy?
Definitely! Crushed toffee bits or even chocolate-covered toffee candies like Skor bars can be great alternatives. Feel free to get creative with your favorite crunchy, chocolatey treats.
How should I store the leftover cake?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cake will stay delicious for up to 3-4 days, but we doubt it will last that long without being devoured!
Do I have to use Cool Whip for the topping?
If you don’t want to use whipped topping for the icing, feel free to use your favorite icing recipe or store bought icing! Buttercream, cream cheese, or plain vanilla icing will all work well.
