Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan).
  • 2
    Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes.
  • 3
    With handle of wooden spoon (1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter), poke holes almost to bottom of cake, every 1/2 inch; wiping spoon handle occasionally to reduce sticking.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk about 2 minutes, or until thick. Pour pudding over cake; spread evenly over surface, working back and forth to fill holes. (Some filling will remain on top of cake.) Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

  • To make this easy chocolate poke cake more special, top or serve with whipped cream and chopped toasted nuts or a scoop of fudge swirl ice cream.
  • In a poke cake, after baking, holes are poked and a variety of fillings poured over the top, such as gelatin, sweetened condensed milk, fruit puree or pudding. Poke cakes also can be topped with your favorite topping before serving.
  • The key to a good poke cake is to rap the baking dish on counter several times to help the pudding fill the holes completely.
