There’s so many poke cake recipes I love for their simplicity and great taste!
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) white cake mix
- 3 egg
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (12 oz) jar caramel sauce, divided
- 12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together all cake ingredients just until combined.
- Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the hot cake, then pour half of the caramel sauce on top (caramel can be heated slightly beforehand if it’s too thick to pour).
- Spread caramel to cover top of cake.
- Allow cake to fully cool as caramel seeps in.
- Frosting: In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until light and smooth.
- Add vanilla and powdered sugar and continue mixing for 2-3 more minutes.
- Frost the cooled cake with the cream cheese frosting then drizzle remaining 1 cup of caramel sauce on top.
- Gently drag a knife through the frosting to create a marbled pattern.
- Chill until ready to serve.
