Pumpkin Butterscotch Poke Cake with chocolate and toffee is a delicious fall dessert that will wow your tastebuds and impress holiday guests!
Fall baking is in full swing in my kitchen! We’ve made Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Bars, Molasses Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Easy Homemade Pumpkin Spice Lattes…
And every week there seems to be another list of goodies we want to try! My kids all love fall and enjoy helping me come up with new ideas and recipes to create. So fun!
I am a summer loving girl, through and through, but all of our children, with the exception of the youngest, love fall. They love the cooler weather, pumpkin and apple everything, all the extra baking mom does, ha!
Though I never like to see summer end, their excitement for all things fall does make it more enjoyable to embrace autumn. And lets face it, I love all the fall baking too!
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN POKE CAKE:
- Prepare the homemade pumpkin cake and let it cool for about ten minutes.
- Poke holes all over the cake, leaving 1″ or so between holes. I like to use the end of a wooden spoon.
- Pour butterscotch pudding over the cake.
- Top the completely cooled cake with whipped topping, Heath bits, and a chocolate drizzle!

Cake
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter very soft
- 2 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 8 oz whipped topping

Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350.

Filling
