Decadent Chocolate Poke Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and mix with a handheld electric mixer or stir by hand. Note that the batter will be thick*.
• Bake for about 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
• Using the tines of a fork, poke holes all over the cake, going down nearly do the base of the cake, and I estimate I poked the cake in about 50 different places.
• To a medium bowl, add both ingredients, and whisk to combine.
• Evenly pour the filling mixture over the cake, noting that it may take a few minutes for all of the mixture to soak in, but it will so have patience.
• To a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and beat with the whisk attachment of a handheld electric mixer or do it in your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
• Evenly spread the frosting over the top of the cake, cover, and refrigerate** until serving.

Steps:

• For the cake: Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• Bake the cake in the prepared pan according to the package instructions. Allow to cool slightly, then, using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, or in a double boiler on the stove, until smooth. Add the condensed milk and milk, then stir to combine. Slowly pour the mixture over the cake, ensuring you hit every last inch. Allow the mixture to soak into the holes while you make the frosting.
• For the frosting: Combine the milk, pudding mix and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk the mixture until it thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped topping until combined well.
• Spread the frosting over the cake, then decorate with the cherries, if using. Enjoy.
