Luxurious German Chocolate Poke Cake

A decadent German chocolate cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk and topped with a rich coconut-pecan frosting.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using water, oil, and eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  3. While cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
  5. Stir in coconut and pecans. Spread mixture evenly over the cake. Let cool completely before serving.
