Pumpkin Spice Latte Poke Cake
Ingredients
16 oz.
Kowalski's Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix
15 oz.
pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
⅓ cup
canola or vegetable oil
1
large egg
2 tbsp.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 cups
half-and-half
15 oz.
sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp.
instant espresso powder
8 oz.
prepared whipped cream
½ cup
toffee bits (not chocolate-covered toffee bits)
½ cup
mini chocolate chips
9 oz. jar
Kowalski's Sea Salt Caramel Sauce, slightly warmed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large mixing bowl, add pancake mix, pumpkin, oil, egg and spice. Using a hand mixer, beat on high for 3 min., stopping halfway through to scrape the sides of the bowl (mixture will be thick).
- Transfer batter to a greased 9x13" pan; spread evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (40-50 min.).
- When cake is done, remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5 min. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together half-and-half, condensed milk and espresso.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke approx. 25-30 evenly spaced holes into the cake about 1" apart.
- Pour espresso mixture slowly over the cake; cool in the refrigerator for 10-15 min.
- Remove cake from refrigerator; spread with whipped cream.
- Sprinkle cake with toffee bits and chocolate chips; drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Return to the refrigerator; refrigerate for 2 hrs. to overnight before slicing and serving.
Tasty Tip:
- Kowalski's Pumpkin Spice Pancake & Waffle Mix (available seasonally in the Grocery Department), may be substituted for Kowalski's Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix. Reduce pumpkin pie spice to 2 tsp.
