Tis the season for all things treat-tastic and delicious, right? One of my favorite go to and easy treats is a poke cake. I love that you can take an ordinary yellow cake mix and spice it up with literal spices or so many other delicious things and turn it into a super fun poke cake. I have so many great poke cake recipes using sweetened condensed milk, including this Eggnog Poke Cake!
HOW DO YOU MAKE A POKE CAKE USING CAKE MIX?
There are so many great poke cake recipes you can use by just jazzing up a cake mix recipe. I like to start by just adding some spices to the dry mix. In this case I added nutmeg and cinnamon. I did the same in my Caramel Apple Poke Cake Recipe. In this recipe, I then replaced the water that the cake mix called for with eggnog. It worked perfectly. In my Samoas Poke Cake Recipe, I replaced it with coconut milk! After the cake comes out of the oven, you make holes and add sweetened condensed milk, or something else delicious that works with the flavor profile you are creating. (How sophisticated do I sound? It’s all an elaborate ruse.) In my Bailey’s Poke Cake I added Baileys. In my Watergate Cake, I added crushed pineapple. Yummy!
