Chocolate Caramel Poke Cake

By Lsweetnell

I am not a big fan of devil's food cake, so I would use a moist chocolate cake mix instead.

Ingredients

• 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix
• 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
• 1 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1/2 cup Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13 x 9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake mix, buttermilk, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; press gently into batter.

Bake 35 to 43 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes. Spray meat fork or other long-tined fork with cooking spray. Poke warm cake every inch with fork tines. Pour caramel topping over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In medium microwavable bowl, microwave frosting 15 to 30 seconds; stir until very soft. Spoon frosting into 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut tip off 1 corner of bag. Drizzle frosting across top of cake. For easy cutting, dip knife in hot water. Store covered.
