Ingredients:
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 jar (12 oz) caramel sauce
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip or whipped topping
1 box German chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare the German chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed.
Make the Caramel Mixture:
While the cake is baking, in a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce until smooth and well blended.
Poke the Cake:
After the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
Add the Caramel Sauce:
Pour the caramel mixture generously over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
Add the Whipped Topping and Crunchy Toppings:
Once the cake is cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly across the top. Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the whipped topping for texture and crunch.
Melt the Chocolate:
Melt the chocolate chips either in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cake.
Finish with Chocolate Syrup:
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for an extra indulgent finish.
Refrigerate and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
