Better than Anything Zucchini Poke Cake has caramel inside of a moist chocolate cake. Topped with cool whip and rich toffee bits this will be a HUGE hit! You will never know zucchini is inside!
Hi, it’s Jenn, from Eat Cake For Dinner. You know that classic Better than Anything Cake that’s a chocolate cake drenched in caramel and sweetened condensed milk then topped with Cool Whip and toffee bits? Well, I made a zucchini version!! I had the idea for this cake forever ago. I put a reminder on my phone, so as soon as I had zucchini in the garden, I would remember to try it. So, every day, for 59 days, my phone reminded me about this recipe idea. Sure, I could have went to the store and bought some zucchini, but I just couldn’t spend the few dollars on it when I knew I would be overloaded with it soon.
I have now made this cake several times and it’s really really easy. You don’t even have to break out the mixer for this one, the cake is all mixed by hand and the other ingredients are already ready to go. Since this chocolate zucchini cake is already very rich and moist, I decided to smother the cake in only caramel sauce and not sweetened condensed milk. I like to top mine with Cool Whip, but if you prefer homemade whipped cream, you can absolutely use that instead. This cake is seriously incredible. You can taste the caramel inside the moist chocolate cake and when combined with the sweet Cool Whip and rich toffee bits, this is guaranteed to be a huge hit. No one will ever know there is zucchini inside.
