If you’re freaking out over all the pumpkin spice food out there right now you will love this caramel pumpkin poke cake! It is seriously good. I almost wish I had poked the holes when the cake came right out of the oven, then it would have been extra warm and gooey! The recipe only requires 5 ingredients and the cake is made with a can of pumpkin and a box of yellow cake mix. You know me, my recipes are super hard to make! J/K.
What on Earth is a Poke cake?
Poke cakes are a delicious way to add extra layers of flavor to any cake. Once the cake has completely cooled poke holes into the cake with the back of a wooden spoon. Then drizzle some type of sauce on top and that sauce seeps into the holes. Do not poke completely towards the bottom of the cake though, or else you will have caramel sauce running out the bottom of the cake.
Can I use a sugar-free cake mix?
Yes. I didn’t use a box of sugar-free cake mix for this recipe. I’ve never tried them before. There are some sugar-free foods out there that I don’t mind. It just depends on the aftertaste you get from the type of sweetener that is used. The sugar-free caramel sauce is something I don’t mind. 🙂 The smart points per serving will be 3. 5 from 1 reviews serving size: 1 slice
