Luxurious German Chocolate Poke Cake
This indulgent German Chocolate Poke Cake brings together a tender, moist chocolate base with layers of rich, gooey flavor that soak deep into every bite. A generous blend of sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce infuses the cake after baking, while a homemade coconut-pecan topping adds a sweet, nutty texture that’s both decadent and satisfying. Finished with a drizzle of caramel and chocolate shavings, this dessert is a showstopper for any celebration—or a luxurious weeknight treat when you need something extra special.
