I've made this little bit of heaven cake for quite a while. Everyone loves it and it's quick and easy to put together when you want to spend the lion's share of your time on a great meal. Golly David.s - What an angry little man you are. Perhaps you are better served by spending your time on an angry political site like HP? You'd fit right in.

Very good. Another version I make uses a marble cake mix, caramel topping and crushed butterfingers. Both are great combinations!

I haven't made this version, but made what my family calls, "Skorr bar cake". We used a devil's food mix and a can of eagle brand as well a caramel ice cream topping. I used three, frozen, then crushed skorr bars, on top of the cake, then put the whipped cream on top and one more crushed skorr bar on top of the cream.(Skorr bars are in Canada and Britain too I think). Freezing the bars helps them crush better. My family loves it.

I was really curious to find out what a poke cake is, so I tried this out on the family. Wow, I'm so glad I did! A bit like chocolate sticky toffee pudding, with the added bonus of a gorgeous creamy, crunchy layer on top. Husband especially loved it.

So quick! Great for unexpected company. David, study English grammar prior to calling others stupid since you used "your" incorrectly.

My family just loved this dessert. I certainly will make it again and again. So easy for a cake that is so delicious.

Excellent version, especially for people with limited time. I have a version that also calls for a can of sweetened condensed milk. This has quite a few less calories. David, you obviously don't have a time issue between work and children. Go back to your kitchen and leave us alone. Oh, by-the-way, not all Americans are fat!!!! That is an ignorant assumption. (I am not American)

Wonderful quick and easy when you need something on the fly. The people I "bake" for (btw David I'm a professional baker) love simple homecooked recipes. I make the chocolate cake and caramel sauce from scratch
