Gluten-free Turtle Poke Cake

Posted on August 17, 2024
  • If you love chocolate, you will love this over the top decadent cake! Made so easy with Pamela’s gluten-free cake mix. Then topped with chocolate frosting, drizzled with caramel and chocolate, and sprinkled with pecans.

PREPARATION TIME:

  • Prep Time 2 hours 
  • Cook Time 24 minutes 

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Pamela’s Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 – 13.4 ounce can dulce de leche
  • 1 pkg Pamela’s Dark Chocolate Frosting Mix
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 4 tablespoons milk or water
  • ½ cup caramel syrup, or caramel sundae sauce
  • ½ cup chocolate syrup, or hot fudge sauce
  • ½ cup pecan pieces, toasted

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk the eggs, oil, and water together. Add the cake mix and stir to combine. Don’t overmix.
  • Pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake 24-30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Using a straw, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  • Transfer the dulce de leche to a microwave-safe bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until pourable. Pour the dulce de leche over the top of the cake and spread evenly, allowing the caramel to fill in the holes on the cake. Set the cake aside to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is completely cool, make the frosting: Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add the frosting mix and blend at low speed until combined. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition.
  • Spread the chocolate frosting over the cooled cake. Drizzle with caramel syrup, then chocolate syrup, and top with pecan pieces. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until serving.

Notes

  • To toast pecans: spread pecans on baking sheet, bake at 350°F for 8-10 min or until golden brown.  Be careful not to burn.
