8 Luscious Poke Cakes to Make ASAP

Trying out new desserts on your family and friends is a fun time, especially when that new dessert is a poke cake. Poke cakes are a rite of passage for dessert lovers. Moist, fluffy and delicious, a poke cake is a cake that you poke holes into after baking. Afterwards, you fill the holes with gelatin, pudding or cream. If that sounds like an amazing dessert experience to you, that’s because it is! Poke cakes originated in the 1970s, and they’ve recently made a major comeback. Sweet, simple and semi-kitschy, poke cakes have withstood the decades to prove that they are a truly timeless dessert. Would you like to try your hand at one?
