Description
Heath Bar Poke Cake is a delicious dessert that combines chocolate cake with a creamy filling and a crunchy Heath bar topping.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup crushed Heath bars (about 4–5 bars)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate syrup until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- After chilling, spread the whipped topping over the cake. Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars on top for garnish.
- Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache on top of the whipped topping.
- You can also substitute the crushed Heath bars with crushed Oreos or Butterfingers for a different twist.
