I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Eagle Brand. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions are mine alone.

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake

The kids are out of school all week for the Thanksgiving holiday, so we came to Alabama to visit family for a few days. I think it’s wonderful that the children get 9 whole days off! Not having to wake up at 6 am for a few days is just fine with me. Plus, I love visiting my relatives.

One of the nice things about having a blog as your full time job is that you can make your own schedule. I can also blog while I’m out of town and that’s what I’m doing today.

Since I’m always baking sweet treats, of course I wanted to bring something yummy to share with my family. I wanted something extra special that would also travel well.

Enter Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake. It’s so ooey, gooey good! If you’re a fan of chocolate turtles, then you will love this cake. Plus, it’s very simple to make using the Caramel Flavored Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk. (Note: If you can’t find the seasonal flavor of the Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, you can substitute 1 cup of caramel flavored syrup, found in the ice cream section of your grocer.)

“Caramel Flavored and Chocolate Flavored Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk are limited-edition seasonal flavors which make great shortcuts while you’re baking delicious holiday favorites for your friends and family. Both the chocolate and caramel varieties of sweetened condensed milk bring the rich, creamy texture to holiday recipes that the entire family will love. Try them now, because just like the holidays, they’re here only for a short time.”

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake starts with an easy chocolate cake mix prepared according to package instructions. Then you poke holes in the top with a wooden spoon handle. Pour caramel flavored sweetened condensed milk over the cake and spread all around. Refrigerate for an hour. Then frost with chocolate frosting and sprinkle with pecans and mini chocolate chips.

This is a great dessert to serve your guests at a holiday party. It’s sure to please all of those chocolate lovers in your life. It also looks impressive although you can whip it up in no time.

Eagle-Brand

Caramel is something that’s usually a bit tricky to make from scratch, but don’t worry, you can use Eagle Brand Caramel Flavored Sweetened Condensed Milk right out of the can. No stirring over a hot stove and messing with a candy thermometer.

But it’s a limited edition item, so make sure you try some during the holidays before it’s gone! It also comes in Chocolate for a limited time only.

“The two new flavors provide the same quality that Eagle Brand consumers have trusted for over 150 years.”

Cake-Batter

Making this cake couldn’t be easier. Start by mixing up your favorite chocolate cake mix (I used my Kitchenaid mixer) and bake as directed in a greased 13″ x 9″ baking pan.

Click below to order either the Kitchenaid Mixer or 13″ x 9″ Wilton Baking Pan on Amazon (affiliate):

Cake-Poke

I baked mine for about 35 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to punch holes all over the cake. That’s the fun part! It brings out the kid in me and makes me feel like it’s something I’m not supposed to do. Didn’t your mom ever tell you you’re not supposed to punch holes in your cake with your spoon! Punch away!  (You could also use a straw to punch smaller holes.)

Next, pour a can of Eagle Brand Caramel Flavored Sweetened Condensed Milk over the cake (or caramel syrup if you can’t find the seasonal Eagle Brand). Spread evenly, so the caramel gets into all of the holes. Put it in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour.

Cake-Frosted

Frost with store bought chocolate frosting.

Cake-Decorated

Add chopped pecans, mini chocolate chips and drizzle more caramel syrup on top.

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake

It’s ready to serve!

Once you slice it and place on a plate, you can drizzle more caramel syrup down the sides for dramatic effect. Who can resist caramel dripping down the side of your chocolate cake!

With chocolate, caramel and pecans, you can’t go wrong! Try Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake at your next holiday party.

    You can make your own caramel sauce using eagle brand sweetened condensed milk in the crockpot! Either transfer the milk from the can to a small mason jar or just take the label off and cook it in the can. Cover with water and cook in the crock pot on low for 9-10 hours (much easier in the mason jars as you can see the color)

    Cheaper alternative to Eagle Brand milk. I use lots of it in recipes. Buy the off-brand of sweetened condensed milk. There are many brands. Saves at least $1 a can. You can carmelize it yourself. From an old family recipe: Take the label off the can, submerge the can in boiling water, simmer for 3 hours replacing any evaporated water as it simmers, remove and let cool just enough to handle, open and it will be extra thick. Beat it with your mixer and it will get thinner. It has turned a beautiful carmel brown. Go do something else while waiting to simmer or cool! Experiment, it might only take a couple of hours, this old recipe calls for it to start out thick, so I’m not sure. It says simmer 3 hours. LOve this recipe, will sure try.

    If the Eagle brand is not available, I’m pretty sure the brand Nestle is known for condensed milk and caramel. By the time one simmers the condensed milk to make caramel, it would probably cost more! Have never tried ‘poke’ cake,( I believe to be called) ‘pokay’? Shall make a chocolate/ caramel and lemon blueberry. Love the recipes!

    I mix a can of the condensed sweetened milk & 6-8 oz of caramel syrup in a saucepan & heat on lowest temp possible while I the cake bake (make sure you stir it frequently so it doesn’t scorch). I usually heat it was he last ten minutes of baking. Then remove it from heat after you pull cake outta oven (while its resting for 10-min). This allows the sauce to thicken just enough (just as good as eagle brand caramel flavor). If a receipe calls for one can of flavored sweetened milk then mix half a can of sweetened milk & 8oz of caramel sauce. I used the whole can of milk for this receipe and 6 oz of caramel sauce just cuz I like the cake to be moist!!!! Just a lil tip…hopefully its useful!!!!

    You can also open a can of condensed milk, pull off the outside paper. Open with a can opener. Puqt it in a slow cooker over night. Fill your small slow cooker to the rim but not over fill and let it cook slowly. 6 hours should be enough. It’s the same as you buy it in the store ?

    Buy cans of REGULAR sweetened condensed milk, take the paper wrapper off and boil WHOLE cans for 3.5 hours. Boiling water steams away quickly so make sure water stays well over the tops of the cans. After 3.5 hours, let cans completely cool before opening can. Mix with wish or fork. I’ve opened it too early and the caramel oozed out. It’ll be the easier, most delicious caramel sauce EVER!! I just boiled three cans tonight!!

      Hi Erica, That is a terrific method for making caramel, but I wouldn’t recommend it for this cake. The boiled sweetened condensed milk comes out very thick and it won’t sink down into the poked holes unless you try to thin it out with cream maybe? I would suggest using the store bought caramel sauce that is more of a liquid consistency for this particular recipe if you can’t find the SEASONAL Eagle Brand Caramel. Thank you for you comments.

    I had cakes mixes and frosting already(I try to keep something on hand) and the condensed milk flavors were already here(my late mother bought them last winter)…I wasn’t sure how I’d use them before finding this recipe. I baked two versions of this last night in my 9×13″ Chicago Metallics brownie pans (without the slicing insert in) pricked the cakes all over with a fork since I didn’t have a spoon like the one you used, poured the condensed milk, put the lids on the pans and then refrigerated them…will this affect the way the cake soaks in the milk?

    The other version I made was red velvet with the chocolate condensed milk…great or gross, we’ll have to see as I still have to frost and top them!

    i haven’t read all the comments but you know you can make caramel from condensed milk, you just boil it in a pot for like 3 hours

      Yes, thank you. But when you make caramel from the condensed milk, it’s very thick. For this recipe, the caramel sauce works better if you can’t find the Eagle brand caramel flavored condensed milk.

    Carmel sauce then sprinkle choc chips and pecans
    On it. Yummm! Do you refrigerate it when it’s
    Complete?

      If you’re not using the frosting, you probably don’t need to refrigerate right away. I would put it in the fridge after 24 hours though… enjoy. 🙂

    Nestle brand markets Dulce de Leche in a can labelled La Lechera & it’s available all year anywhere, at least here in Texas (& likely anywhere there is a large Hispanic-American or Caribbean population). It’s comparable to the seasonally available Eagle Brand Caramel or to what we get preparing it the way our grandmas did when they boiled sweetened condensed milk still in its can to caramelize the contents.

    True caramel is made with butter & sugar & no cans are involved, but the results in taste & texture are similar enough to the pantry-friendly (and less messy!) caramelized condensed milk that they’re usually interchangeable in easy & fun deserts like this one.
