What is a Poke Cake?
Poke Cakes are moist, rich and absolutely scrumptious! All you do is bake a cake, then poke holes in it and fill it with all kinds of yummy syrups, creams, gelatins, candies or cookies. The extra flavors enhance an otherwise boring cake, making concoctions fit for any holiday, birthday or regular Wednesday!
How to Poke Holes in a Cake
The beauty of a poke cake is there’s really no way to mess it up! Follow these easy tips:
- I like to use the end of a wooden spoon to get nice round holes in the cake.
- Space the holes about an inch or so apart.
- Holes placed too close to each other could make the cake too soggy. Too far apart, and you may not have enough space to put your filling.
