BEST POKE CAKE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º. Line a 9"-x-13” pan with parchment and spray it with cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool, 10 minutes.
• Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over cake.
• Make filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and Baileys. Pour filling over poke holes and spread with a spatula. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, half of the powdered sugar, Baileys, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the rest of the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.
• Spread frosting over cake and garnish with chocolate curls. Serve.

Steps:

• Bake a white cake according to package directions in a 9" x 13" prepared baking pan. We really like Duncan Hines brand but any white cake mix brand will work. Cool and poke holes in it. I've always used the end of a wooden spoon to poke the holes. Poke as many holes as you like but make sure they are spaced out across the top of the cake.
• In a small saucepan, boil crushed pineapple with juice, 1 cup white sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a few minutes.
• Then pour pineapple mixture over cooled cake. This will fill up the holes that you've poked in the cake.
• In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and pecans.
• Mix thoroughly and spread evenly across the top of the cake.
• Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours before serving. Refrigerate overnight to give the cake the best flavor. Refrigerate any leftovers. Can be served cold from the fridge or heated for a few seconds in the microwave.
