Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake Recipe

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake is a moist chocolate cake soaked with caramel flavored sweetened condensed milk and topped with chocolate frosting, mini chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and drizzle with caramel syrup! It is so easy to make and a huge hit at parties!

I love making poke cake, among my favorites include Christmas Red Velvet Poke Cake and Chocolate Mint Poke Cake. This is one of the best cakes I have ever made and we absolutely loved it. I love turtle anything, decadent chocolate, sweet caramel contrasted with crunchy pecans and you have the perfect dessert. If you have never made one, make this the one you try. So decadent, rich, and good!

How to Make Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake?

This turtle poke cake couldn’t be simpler to make!

Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake starts with an easy chocolate cake:

  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, coffee, and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until combine (the batter will look runny)
  • Pour into a prepared baking dish and bake 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean
  • Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 10 minutes
  • Then you poke holes in the top with a wooden spoon handle. Pour caramel flavored sweetened condensed milk over cake and spread all around.
  • Refrigerate for an hour.
  • Then top with chocolate topping and sprinkle with pecans, chocolate chips and drizzle with caramel syrup

These poke cakes have the perfect combination of textures: fudgy, gooey, and crunchy, basically a dream dessert!

Can I Make Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake Ahead of Time?

You can make just the Chocolate Turtle Poke Cake without the extra caramel topping and chopped pecans and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw the poke cake overnight in the refrigerator and then bring them to room temperature on the counter before serving

This cake would be perfect for a special occasion or birthday and is sure to please a crowd! It is very rich, so even though the serving size is 12, but you could definitely cut the pieces even smaller. So many textures and flavors in every bite! Enjoy!
