Step-by-Step Instructions
To make this Caramel Turtle Poke Cake, start by baking your chocolate cake according to the package instructions. This is where the delicious aroma fills my kitchen—there’s just something about the smell of chocolate cakes baking! Once baked, let it cool for about 15 minutes. While it’s cooling, grab a fork and poke holes all over the top of the cake; this is the “poke” part, which allows all that yummy caramel to seep in! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
