Caramel Spice Poke Cake
Description
The Caramel Spice Poke Cake uses a boxed spice cake that is baked and then punctured with holes to allow sweetened condensed milk to seep deep into the crumb, increasing moisture and sweetness throughout. After cooling, a whipped cream topping is prepared by beating heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This topping is spread evenly over the cake.
Caramel sauce is poured on top and gently swirled into the whipped cream for a marbled effect, adding rich caramel flavor and visual appeal. Chopped walnuts or pecans sprinkled on the top contribute a crunchy texture that contrasts with the soft cake and the smooth cream.
This dessert is best served shortly after assembly or kept refrigerated due to the whipped cream topping's perishability. It combines warm spice notes with creamy and nutty elements, making it suitable for special occasions or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces spice cake mix 1 box, plus ingredients required to bake
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over the top of the cake.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to swirl into the whipped cream. Top with nuts.
Notes
