Luxurious German Chocolate Poke Cake

A decadent German chocolate poke cake with rich coconut-pecan frosting that soaks into the cake for extra moisture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup 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 eggs, oil, and water. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
  3. While cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
  4. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  6. Spread the coconut-pecan frosting evenly over the cake. Let cool completely before serving.
