Red Velvet Brownie Poke Cake 

For the Brownie Layer:

– 1 box red velvet cake mix

– 1/4 cup vegetable oil

– 1/4 cup water

– 2 large eggs

For the Poke Cake:

– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

– 1/2 cup chocolate syrup

– 1 cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)

For the Topping:

– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

– 1/4 cup crushed walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the red velvet brownie layer by following the directions on the cake mix box. In a large bowl, mix together the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs until smooth.

3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the box instructions (about 25-30 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly.

4. Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the cake.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate syrup. Pour the mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.

6. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

7. Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and crushed walnuts, if desired.

8. Slice and serve this irresistible treat!
