A few months ago, I have not heard of - much less tasted - poke cakes before. But I have been seeing them all over the internet lately, so I finally decided to give it a try. And you know what? I'm sure glad I did, because I've just added this to my list of favorite treats. I adapted this from this recipe right here. I hope you like it!
CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups Hershey's Cocoa
1 tsp. salt
1-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 container (16 oz.) dairy sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter/margarine, softened
2 eggs
2 pkg. (4-serving each size) Jell-O Cook & Serve Pudding
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
chocolate shavings
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add butter , sour cream, vanilla and eggs. Beat on medium speed of mixer for 3 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 40-45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

That was a lovely party April! Hope you're having a great weekend too!
DeleteI still have not ever made a poke cake! I was getting ready to make one that I saw last month, but couldn't come up with a completely dairy-free version. Maybe I will figure it out one of these days :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I haven't seen a dairy-free version either. It would be really great if you can figure out how to do that.
DeleteMight try this one!! Thanks for sharing on DIY Showcase Sunday!
ReplyDeleteShelly@Minettesmaze
Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment Shelly! Have a great week!
DeleteFrom one chocolate cake maker to another...this looks fabulous! I make a couple of years back that required you to poke holes in it (wasn't chocolate). I poured buttermilk in the holes. Thought it wasn't going to be good, but it was terrific! Nice photo, too.
