The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:

If you don’t have a wooden spoon use a fork to poke several holes in for the sweetened sauce can be poured over top and soak through.

Tips to Make the BEST Cake Ever!

Make this dessert the best that it can be with simple substitutions and adding your own personal touch to it. I am using a simplified version that tastes amazing but here are some great ways to make it more homemade and personal.

Box Mix: Seriously, make this easy on you and use a box mix. If you do have a favorite homemade chocolate cake, this will work great too! Caramel Sauce: Make it homemade or use your favorite jarred caramel sauce from the store. Cool Whip: If you don’t have cool whip on-hand making or using whipped cream will also work. Cool Completely: Be sure to wait until the warm cake is cooled completely before adding the cool whip. If not, the cool whip will melt and not be fluffy on top. Topping: Substitute the heath bits for chopped Oreos, nuts chopped Reese’s or even a skor bar. Garnish: When ready to serve, drizzle caramel sauce over top of the cool whip and heath bits once ready to serve. Wait!: I know, this is the hardest part! It is best to wait a few hours to serve. The caramel and condensed milk is going to moisten and enrich each bite of this cake leaving you speechless. Trust me, the wait makes it only better!

Storing a Poke Cake:

I have never had left overs with this dessert but storing it can be a breeze. This is one of those desserts that is gone within minutes and people are then begging for more and the recipe at the same time. This is simple to store and still looks amazing when serving it!

Can you make ahead of time? Yes! Simply follow the instructions to make this poke cake ahead of time and let the caramel sauce moisten throughout the chocolate dessert even more over time to soak in. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Storing in the refrigerator: It is best to refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving or even overnight. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes ahead of time or serve it cold. The dessert will last about 3 to 4 days stored in the refrigerator.
