This Snickers Poke Cake is so darn good. The chocolate cake is soaked with a caramel and milk mixture and then topped with peanut butter whipped cream. It’s totally like eating a Snickers in cake form!

So this weekend was quite lovely. I mentioned last week that it was my mom’s birthday, so we went up to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville for a little girls weekend. I had never been, but I know she loves it. We spent Saturday at the Spa, which is probably one of the biggest draws and certainly the part of the resort I’ve heard the most about.

We both had pedicures and then spent the day lounging around their pools, enjoying the saunas and napping. It was quite relaxing and by the end of the day we were totally chilled. We had dinner at one of the restaurants at the resort and it was quite tasty.

The next day, we enjoyed some time walking around downtown Asheville, having lunch and doing a little shopping. What good is a girls weekend without a little shopping, after all? It was a great couple of days – very relaxing and fun to spend some time together. We even had a little cake to celebrate the occasion. 🙂

Speaking of cake, this one is totally moan-worthy! To start, there’s the super easy chocolate cake. I love this chocolate cake for the ease of making it, in addition to being super moist and so chocolatey. Mix all the ingredients together, add to a 9×13 cake pan and bake until am inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

The chocolate cake is then poked with holes and soaked in a mixture of caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk. I used this Smucker’s caramel sauce, but feel free to use another one. I’d just recommend using one that isn’t too thin of a caramel, so you’re sure to get plenty of caramel flavor.

Once the cake is cool, it’s time for the topping! I used a peanut butter whipped cream on top and it was perfection. I know it’s tempting for some people who like to reduce the amount of sugar in things to reduce the powdered sugar in the whipped cream, but I really don’t recommend it. It’s a stabilizer in my whipped creams and in my opinion is totally necessary. If you were going to leave it out, you’d likely want to use some gelatin or something to add stability. This whipped cream in particular doesn’t thicken up quite as much as some others with the peanut butter. When you make it, whip it until it looks nice and stiff and it should be fine.

I’m not kidding at all when I tell you this seriously tastes like a Snickers in cake form! It’s SO good! There’s just enough chocolate, caramel and peanut butter flavor and all it comes together wonderfully. It’s dangerous to have around, but oh so worth it!
