Please See Other Recipes

Are you ready? We are knee-deep in chocolate today with a special caramel covered treat. In fact, this is the very first poke cake recipe to appear on Sweetest Menu!
You’re looking at a soft and delicate chocolate cake that has been soaked in homemade salted caramel sauce, then topped with silky smooth chocolate caramel frosting and covered in gooey Chocolate Rolo pieces! Chocolate caramel at it’s finest.

INGREDIENTS

• Chocolate Cake
• 105 grams (3/4 cup) plain flour
• 40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 80 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
• 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 ml (1/2 cup) of buttermilk
• 120 ml (1/2 cup) caramel sauce
• Chocolate caramel frosting
• 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter
• 375 grams (3 cups) icing or powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 20 grams (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
• 120ml (1/2 cup) salted caramel sauce, plus a little extra for decorating
• 200 grams (1 cup and 1/3 cup) Rolo chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (360 F). Grease and line a square 8 inch springform cake tin with a little baking or parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and then add the sugars. Pop the butter into the microwave for short bursts, 10 seconds or so at a time, until it is just melted. Give it a stir with a fork to eliminate any lumps. Whisk together the butter, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk until combined – don’t worry if it goes a little lumpy. Then add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined.
2. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and pop into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middles comes out clean. Grab a chop stick (or something similar) and poke holes throughout the whole cake, while it is still warm. Pour your caramel over the top and spread out so it soaks into the cake and down the holes. Then leave the cake to cool completely.
