Toffee Butterscotch Poke Cake

 

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce
• 1 cup toffee bits
• 1 container whipped topping (thawed)
• Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cake:

Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the yellow cake batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed.
Poke Holes:
Once the cake is baked and still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the entire cake.
Fill with Sweetness:
In a bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk and butterscotch sauce until well combined. Pour this mixture over the warm cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
Top with Toffee Delight:
Sprinkle a generous amount of toffee bits over the cake, allowing them to nestle into the holes and create pockets of toffee goodness.
Chill and Set:
Place the cake in the refrigerator to cool completely and allow the flavors to meld. This step also helps the cake set.
Frost and Garnish:
Once the cake is chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping over the top, creating a smooth and creamy layer. Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.

Slice into squares, serve on elegant dessert plates, and watch as your guests delight in the rich, toffee-infused layers.
