, and I had never heard of such a thing. Basically, a poke cake is a cake, which you poke holes in and pour pudding or something similar over the top and allow it to absorb into the cake. You top it off with whipped cream and/or other toppings. Umm, cool! So I did some research and decided to try a French Toast Poke Cake.
1 Box Vanilla Cake mix
Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine cake mix, nutmeg and cinnamon together in a medium sized bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time ensuring the batter is well mixed after each egg. Add single yolk last. Next add melted butter, milk and sour cream. Cream together until well mixed. Add vanilla and maple syrup last and mix until combined. Pour into a greased and floured 9×13” pan. Bake for 25-28 minutes until the top of the cake is golden brown. Test the cake for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, your cake is finished. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together milk and pudding packets using a wire whisk until smooth. Do not allow the pudding to set. Pour the pudding over the cake and distribute evenly. Put the cake in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
To finish the cake, spread whipped cream over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Make sure to keep your cake refrigerated.
I wish I could make a half batch because knowing this is sitting in my fridge all last weekend was SO tempting!
What a yummy treat, poke cakes are always easy and fun to make.
I was really surprised at how many different flavors you can make into a poke cake.
This recipe will definitely be added to my list of keepers.

Hi! I put the cake with the pudding layer in the fridge for three hours. Then I microwaved a can of home style chocolate frosting so it was pourable, but not soupy or bubbly. Then I just poured the frosting all over the pudding layer and gently spread with a knife. I kept the cake in the fridg over night. It was a big hit!! …and easy!!
Dessert for breakfast is my favorite! I would highly recommend revisiting the poke cake! I have seen some that use jello to make two tone cupcakes, it’s so cool!
I have been seeing poke cakes popping up all over the place too! But french toast poke cake?! Looks and sounds amazing!
