- 1 Devil’s Food cake mix batter prepared according to the package instructions
- 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar 12 ounces caramel ice cream topping
- 1 tub 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 bag 8 ounces Heath Bar baking bits
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan as it bakes.
Pour the prepared Devil’s Food cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake according to the package instructions for a 9x13-inch cake, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, remove the cake from the oven.
While the cake is still warm, use the end of a wooden spoon or the wide end of a chopstick to poke holes all over the cake. Space the holes about ½-inch apart so the liquid can soak in.
While the cake is hot, pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire cake, making sure it soaks into the holes. Then, pour the caramel ice cream topping over the cake as well. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature so it can soak up the milk and caramel.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top of the cake. Cover the entire surface, creating a smooth layer of whipped topping.
Sprinkle the Heath Bar baking bits over the top of the Cool Whip. You can use half the bag for a light topping or the entire bag for a more decadent crunch.
Once topped with the Heath Bar bits, slice the cake into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy this rich and sweet treat at your next gathering or whenever you’re craving a comforting dessert. This Heath Bar Poke Cake is a dessert that’s guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth and bring a little bit of Southern comfort to your table.
