I brought this cake on a recent family camping trip and everyone loved it and raved about it for two days! My husband asked me to make it for him to take to work later this week! Needless to say I will be making this time and time again! Excellent and easy recipe!

I made this and took it to a neighborhood cookout and the cake was eaten almost entirely. Everyone loved it and had to have the recipe. It is definitely a keeper!

Poke cakes are one of my favorites...rich, moist and just delicious. To make this even more decadent, use a layer of hot fudge sauce first, then the caramel sauce. Takes it to a whole new level!

This is our favorite poke cake. Other types don't have as much flavor. Caramel and chocolate go so well together and the whipped topping makes it creamy and rich!

This is a really rich and moist cake. I used Butterfinger bars instead of the toffee. Delicious!

Out of 6 desserts at a recent potluck, this was the runaway favorite. Both kids and adults enjoyed and some went back for a second big slice! Easy to make. next time I may try the sweetened condensed milk people mentioned. I used Smucker's Salted Caramel sauce, delicious!

I made the cake yesterday. It was good, a very easy desert to make. Great for a BBQ. I think when i make it again I'm going to add a Choc Ganache frosting instead of whip cream.
