How to Make a Poke Cake
Start by baking a cake using your favorite boxed cake mix in a 9×13-inch pan. Classic options include vanilla, chocolate cake mix, or even red velvet.
After your cake is done baking, let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. You want it warm but not too hot.
What’s the best way to poke holes in a cake?
Use the end of a wooden spoon. These tools create holes that are big enough for the filling to seep into, giving each bite extra flavor and moisture. Make sure to space the holes evenly, about 1 to 2 inches apart, and poke them deep enough to reach the bottom of the cake. This ensures the filling spreads throughout the cake, creating that delicious layered effect.
Choose a filling like chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, Jello, sweetened condensed milk, or even caramel sauce. Prepare the filling according to the package instructions, if needed.
Slowly pour your filling over the cake, making sure it gets into all the holes. This will add flavor and keep the cake moist.
Place the cake in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the filling set and the flavors meld.
Once chilled, top the cake with whipped topping, whipped cream, frosting, or any topping of your choice. You can also sprinkle nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit for extra texture and flavor.
Why is my poke cake soggy?
A poke cake can turn out soggy if too much liquid is added to the holes, causing the cake to absorb excess moisture. It’s best to let the cake cool completely and pour the liquid gradually.
Do poke cakes need to be refrigerated?
Yes, poke cakes should be refrigerated, especially if they contain perishable ingredients like pudding or whipped cream, to keep them fresh and safe to eat.
