What Is A Poke Cake?

A poke cake is a sheet-style cake baked in a 9×13 baking pan that you literally poke holes into after it’s baked. You use the end of a wooden spoon and evenly press it into the cake creating little wells. In this cake you create an easy chocolate ganache that you pour all over the cake, and it pools in the holes you made with the wooden spoon creating an ultra moist cake. I top my poke cake off with creamy chocolate frosting, but you could also spread whipped cream on top if you’re looking to cut the sweetness a bit.

Can You Make Other Flavors Of Poke Cake?

The idea for this cake is simple, and you can easily swap out flavors! You could replace the chocolate cake with vanilla for a marbled style poke cake. Or use white chocolate in the ganache for a white chocolate version! So many possibilities!

Chocolate Poke Cake Starts With A Cake Mix!

Like I said, this cake starts with a cake mix that you bake according to the package directions in a 9 x 13 pan. You can use any brand of cake mix you like, or certainly you can use a from-scratch cake recipe too!

Ingredients

Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the full list of ingredients and step by step instructions.

Cake Mix. You will need to use one box of chocolate cake mix and all the ingredients for that cake mix that it calls for on the box (eggs, oil, water). It doesn’t matter the brand, just follow the instructions included! Chocolate Chips. You will use chocolate chips along with sweetened condensed milk to create the rich ganache that you pour onto the cake! I also like to use mini chocolate chips on top of the frosting for decoration, and of course more chocolate flavor! Sweetened Condensed Milk. Like I stated above you will melt together the sweetened condensed milk with the chocolate chips to create the thick, but pourable fudge ganache that will fill the holes that you poke in the cake so every slice has a tunnel of extra chocolate! Chocolate Frosting. The frosting comes together easily with a combination of butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk.
