Dress up a chocolate cake mix with a nutella glaze, cool whip, and chocolate chips for a Chocolate Nutella Poke Cake that is wonderfully moist and flavorful.

It’s almost silly to even share this recipe with you. The Nutella Poke Cake has 5 ingredients but it was so amazing! We took it to a get together with another family and everyone had seconds- and a few had thirds! The flavor is amazing and the cake is so moist it is out of this world!

Ingredients you need:

Chocolate cake
Nutella
Sweetened condensed milk
Cool Whip or whipped cream
Mini chocolate chips

How to make poke cake?

Make a chocolate cake from scratch or from a boxed mix.
After the cake comes out of the oven, use a fork or a cocktail stick and poke lots of holes all over the cake.
Then, combine sweetened condensed milk with Nutella and pour over the top of the still warm cake so it soaks into the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Once you have added the glaze and the cake has cooled, cover the glaze with the cool whip or homemade whipped cream. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top.
Now is the time to chill the cake. The chill time is important so the glaze gets soaked into the cake and all of the different layers set. If you don’t do this step your cake topping will slide right off and that’s really sad!

The Nutella glaze is insanely tasty! I may have stolen some spoonfuls of just the glaze while making this cake. Fair warning has been given!

I actually decided to make it for my birthday again this year. I love how quick and easy it is to make and that it’s a nice cake to enjoy during the summer months. Having a summer birthday always makes it a catch-22 when making desserts so I like the refrigerator cakes because they are nice and chilled.

We happen to love cakes- I mean who doesn’t but making a cake causes all sorts of crazy celebrating in this house. It’s a little silly sometimes but with all the amazing cakes we’ve had through the years I guess it’s pretty justified.
