What is a Poke Cake?
A poke cake is a basic sheet cake literally with holes poked into it after it has baked. The cake is then poured over with either a pudding, frosting, Jell-o mix – basically something sweet and creamy. That liquid then fills the holes that were “poked”. The result is an extra moist delicious cake with a burst of creamy flavor in every bite.
What do you use to make the holes in a poke cake?
You can use any type of kitchen tool to make the holes in a poke cake, however, we found the end of a wooden spoon or spatula works the best for us! If you want to make smaller holes, you can also use a skewer. Personally, I prefer the larger holes and the handle of a wooden spoon end works perfectly for that!
