Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water

Filling & Topping

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, 3 large eggs, and 1 cup of water. Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform. Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  3. Poke the Cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similarly sized utensil, poke holes all over the surface of the cooled cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart. This will allow the filling to seep into the cake layers for added moisture and flavor.
  4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes and soaks into the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to let the milk absorb fully.
  5. Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1 tub (8 oz) of Cool Whip until smooth and well combined. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the top of the soaked cake.
  6. Top with Caramel and Peanuts: Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce evenly over the peanut butter layer. Finally, sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts over the caramel to add crunch and extra flavor.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together. Slice and enjoy this rich and creamy Snickers-inspired poke cake dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cake is completely cool before poking holes to prevent the cake from breaking apart.
  • You can substitute store-bought caramel sauce with homemade caramel if desired.
  • To make this cake gluten-free, use a gluten-free chocolate cake mix.
  • Leftover cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For a more intense Snickers flavor, add chopped Snickers bars on top along with the peanuts.
