Expert Tips for Making Chocolate Poke Cake
- What’s the best way to poke holes in a poke cake? One method of poking holes in a poke cake is to use a straw! A straw will give you consistent, perfectly sized holes that you can poke throughout your cake! Another method is to use the end of a small spoon; using the end of a spoon should give you holes that are 1/4-1/2 in. in size. It’s best to make the holes while your cake is slightly warm!
- How many days in advance can you make a poke cake? You can make your poke cake 2-3 days before your event! Make sure once it’s been made you secure it tightly and then refrigerate it. If your poke cake has any whipped cream on it, be aware that after a certain amount of time (around 2 days) it will begin to become soggy. To avoid this, if you are making your cake in advance, store the cake in the fridge and then add the whipped-topping on the day you will be serving it!
- Quick tip: When pouring the sauce into the holes, be sure to tap the pan a couple times to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the holes get completely filled with the liquid!

There is no arguing that Boston Cream Pie is a delicious thing. Where the confusion comes in is why a layer cake is called a ‘pie.’ While we can’t totally solve that conundrum (more on that later), we have managed to make a super easy poke cake version of the Bostonian favorite. Translating it to a poke cake means that the vanilla custard permeates the crumb throughout, so every bite is moist and luscious. (And it takes a whole lot less work too.)
If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, a poke cake is one where holes are literallypokedall over the cake so that the filling can seep down into the crumb. It’s a genius method that gives you excellent flavor and a moist cake, and in this case it takes Tiramisu and makes it into an easy everyday dessert. There are no Lady Fingers to mess with, just a quick 9×13 cake mix bake and a simple pudding topping, but you still get that irresistible creamy coffee flavor. You just get it with very little fuss!
Banoffee pie is a thing that people seem to either love or hate, and we are definitely of the former opinion. Bananas, toffee, and cream (and we like ours with chocolate)… yum. What’s not to like about that combo?
