Milky Way Poke Cake

Milky Way Poke Cake

I think I might have a thing for Poke Cakes now.  After making out Chocolate Caramel Toffee Poke Cake, I am sold!  And when I saw this one over on Chef in Training, holy heck.  It sounded amazing.  So…. I made it, of course.

We had a big family trip to the beach over the summer and my sister requested something with chocolate and caramel.  Well, this has chocolate and caramel… and a whole lot more!

It was easy to make and the nougat filling in it is awesome!  It adds more flavor to the cake than just sweetened condensed milk.  ANd perfect for little helpers!

My daughter loved helping with this cake.  So many things to dip her fingers into.

We had to cut into it before we even left for the beach.  My kids said we should try it to make sure it’s good.   Taste testers, you know.  For the good of the others.

Yep, delicious!  The nougat filling and caramel and whipped cream together?  It was like eating a Milky Way candy bar except better!
