The first time I made a poke cake, I was with my aunt and cousin. I had slept over their house and my cousin and I spent the day in the pool. But, before we were in the pool, I was all dressed up in my Sunday best with bows in my hair and all. My mischievous cousin told me to look over the edge of the pool, and I did. She told me there was a dead frog and I desperately wanted to see it.
When I looked over the edge, she pushed me right in. Needless to say, I cried for about thirty minutes over that incident. I was so sad that I had ruined my dress and bow and was afraid of what my mom would say.
My aunt, in the effort of comforting me, told me we would bake a cake together, so we did. We made a chocolate poke cake. I was fascinated over the idea of a cake that after baked, I can ruin by poking.
I thought if I did that at home, I would ruin a cake, but this cake was made with that in mind. I was mind blown and could not wait to try it at home.

Quick Tip: Frost this with any flavor you’d like!
Can you use a yellow or white cake with this and still use all the chocolate?
I was thinking of using yellow cake and banana pudding with chocolate topping!
What is McArther milk?
It’s just a brand of 2% milk (deanfoods.com). I just googled it since I’d not heard of it either!
A brand if milk.
Dark Chocolate anything isn’t going to happen with me. But, a regular chocolate cake with either white chocolate pudding or cheesecake pudding poured over it with chocolate sprinkles/jimmies would do just fine!
