Ingredients Overview
Main Ingredients
Yellow Cake Mix: The base of our poke cake, providing a moist and fluffy foundation.
Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: Adds a creamy, luscious filling that seeps into the cake, creating those signature “poke” pockets.
Milk: Used to make the pudding mix smooth and rich.
Chocolate Frosting: The final touch that adds a decadent layer of chocolatey goodness on top.
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix box instructions. Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish. Mix and Bake: Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the box instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed. Allow the cake to cool until just slightly warm.
Step 2: Poke the Cake
Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the entire cake. These holes will be filled with the vanilla pudding to create the signature “poke cake” effect.
Step 3: Prepare and Pour Pudding
Mix Pudding: In a large bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk. Whisk until well blended and smooth. Pour Over Cake: Carefully pour the pudding over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the cake for several hours to allow the pudding to set.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Frosting
Heat Frosting: Remove the foil seal from the frosting container. Microwave the frosting for 15 seconds and stir. Repeat until the frosting is pourable. Spread Frosting: Pour the frosting over the set pudding layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire cake. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for several more hours to let the frosting set.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
