How would you describe goo cake? Let's see! Poke holes in the top of a just baked chocolate cake fresh from the oven, then drizzle sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce generously over the top. Pretend to try exercising any sort of self control to NOT dig in to the cake with your fork while the milk and caramel sauce slowly start to infuse throughout the cake. If I just made you hungry just skip to making this stat!

Notes
Substitutions
To make this recipe more food allergen friendly, there are several adaptations you'll want to make. We note those both here and in the recipe.
Chocolate Cake Mix: You need one box of chocolate cake mix that would make a 9x13 inch cake. You can use any type of cake mix that you would like to. We have used everything from gluten free chocolate cake mixes to keto and paleo chocolate cake mixes. They work fine.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: For dairy free or vegan versions of this recipe you'll want to use dairy free sweetened condensed milk. We use Nature's Charm Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk most often as it's available at stores near us. I've also made my own vegan version of sweetened condensed milk before. For keto versions, I haven't been able to find an easily accessible commercially prepared keto sweetened condensed milk in the stores where I live but there are many homemade keto sweetened condensed milk recipes available on the internet.
