Butter Pecan Poke Cake – Easy & with a Delicious Crunch!

Butter Pecan Poke Cake

So, I have never really been a fan of desserts with nuts. I don’t really know why. I love pecans, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and all of those on their own, but I have always been one of those people who thinks that nuts ruin a dessert. I can remember my mom always loving sweets with nuts, and I would be so grossed out by them. This Butter Pecan Poke Cake though, it has been a game changer for me! I am not sure if it is this dessert in particular, or maybe it is just because of my age and I have finally reached the phase of my life when I am into this kind of thing. Whatever the case may be, I am okay with it. No one else in my house feels the same way as me, and that means I get all of this fantastic deliciousness all to myself!

Here are some tips for making my Butter Pecan Poke Cake:

  • I use a boxed butter pecan cake mix for this recipe simply because of convenience and because, sometimes, the boxed stuff is just as good. If you would prefer to make a cake from scratch, go for it! I am sure it will absolutely delicious!
  • I like to use cool whip as the topping for this poke cake, but you could use refrigerated whipped topping or even homemade. I do feel like the cool whip holds it shape for a lot longer than other whipped toppings, but any of them will taste fantastic.
  • I drizzle about 1/3 cup of caramel sauce on the cake while it is still hot (before the whipped topping goes on) and I also like to drizzle a little on the finished product simply for looks. You can leave extra drizzle on top off, and it will not affect your end result.
  • PLEASE! Do not forget to store this in the refrigerator! The whipped topping needs to be kept cool for safety.

  1. Best cake I’ve ever eaten only one question,do you cool the cake completely before spreading
    the eagle bran. There’s no recipe for the caramel sauce. Although I think it’s sweet enough.
    Thanks for an awesome cake recipe.

    • Hi, Monique! Thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy that you loved the cake. There is no need to cool the cake before pouring the condensed milk on top. Also, you can use either a homemade or store-bought caramel sauce, or leave it off if you wish. Thanks again!
