While there is nothing wrong with plain old chocolate or vanilla cake, sometimes you need a cake recipe that is sure to impress. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a family get-together, or a bake sale, it always pays to have an amazing cake recipe up your sleeve. And if you don’t have one already, this Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake recipe is it!
The most important aspect of any recipe is it’s flavor, and this recipe definitely delivers. With frozen strawberries, chocolate pudding and cheesecake pudding, this Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake offers a sweet and scrumptious flavor you won’t be able to resist. Plus, with the jello and instant pudding, this cake is light, moist and fluffy–just like a cake should be.
Another important aspect of any cake is how difficult it is to make. While this Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake does require a few steps and some refrigeration time, all of the ingredients and steps are quite simple. You could even have your children help you make this one; it’s really difficult to mess up. Your children will love poking holes in the cake, layering the strawberries and helping to pour the pudding over top.
The only thing you will want to be aware of with this cake is that you won’t want to make it too far in advance. With all the moist ingredients, it could begin to get soggy if you made it too far ahead. Storing the cake afterwards isn’t something you’ll have to worry about, though. Your friends and family will lick the bowl clean! It’s just that good!
