Apple Spice Poke Cake
This Apple Spice Poke Cake is a moist spice cake soaked with a creamy apple pudding filling and topped with whipped topping, caramel and crunchy nuts. It starts with a cake mix and comes together in about an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 package spice cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 20 ounce apple pie filling canned
- 3.4 ounce vanilla pudding mix boxed
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- caramel sauce optional, for topping
- chopped nuts optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (or the temperature on your cake mix box). Lightly spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, water and vegetable oil. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 26 to 29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
- In a blender, combine the apple pie filling, vanilla instant pudding mix and milk. Blend until completely smooth and the apples are liquified.
- Poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cooled cake using the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the apple pudding filling over the cake and spread it back and forth with a spatula so it fills in the holes.
- Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the apple filling, all the way to the edges of the pan.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts. For the cleanest slices, refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before cutting. Cut into squares and serve.
