Poke cakes are the perfect dessert that you get to poke holes in, and today we are sharing 76 EASY poke cake recipes that will be a huge hit!
These delicious poke cake recipes are a great way to use up that boxed cake mix you have sitting in the pantry and still taste fancy enough for even special occasions.
They are so popular because they are no-fuss way to get moist cakes with extra flavor every time and use ingredients easily found at the grocery store.
Why are they called “Poke Cakes”?
A Poke Cake is a recipe that calls for holes to be poked in the tops of the cake after baking, usually with the handle of a wooden spoon or a wooden skewer.
Then a liquid (such as chocolate sauce, sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, caramel sauce, hot fudge sauce, heavy cream or even strawberry gelatin) is poured over the baked cake to soak into the cake holes.
You can then add things like whipped cream, cool whip, marshmallow fluff, fresh strawberries or fresh raspberries, chocolate cream or whatever topping you love to the top of the cake before serving!
The possibilities are endless!
The best part of poke cakes is how versatile this classic dessert can be!
Simply switch up the flavor of your box of cake mix, or the flavor of jello and you can have a new colorful cake every time to satisfy your sweet tooth!
How To Store Leftover Poke Cake
Because poke cake has a lot of moisture, it is best to keep leftovers chilled.
You can cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Or you can freeze by adding a layer of aluminum foil and storing in the freezer for up to 3 months.
