Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake

Baking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil and a light spray of cooking oil.
2. Follow the cake mix package instructions – this typically involves adding eggs, water, and oil. Bake as suggested, but keep an eye on it! You might find it ready 3-5 minutes sooner than stated.
3. While the cake is in the oven, mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping in a bowl.
4. Once baked, remove the cake and create about 60 evenly spaced holes using a wooden spoon’s blunt end.
5. Gradually pour the milk and caramel blend over the cake, ensuring even distribution into the holes.
6. Let the cake cool in the fridge for 10 minutes before adding the whipped topping.
7. Spread the whipped topping, sprinkle pecans and chocolate chips, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. Overnight refrigeration yields the best results.
8. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce right before serving.

Storage Tips: The cake stays fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days if kept airtight.

Pro Tip:

• For homemade cake enthusiasts, consider making the Devil’s Food cake from scratch (excluding the frosting).
