STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE POKE CAKE

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE POKE CAKE

This simple recipe combines strawberry cake with creamy pudding. The strawberry cake is really simple because you can make it using a boxed mix. 

Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Cake:

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 15¼ ounce box strawberry cake mix
  • 3 large eggs room temperature

For the Cheesecake Pudding:

  • 8 ounces thawed Cool Whip
  • cups cold whole milk
  • 2 x 3½-ounce packages cheesecake flavor instant pudding
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • Whisk the cake mix with the oil and water, using a handheld mixer.
  • Whisk in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Pour this batter into the baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for 15 minutes then poke holes all over it using a wooden spoon handle, making them about an inch apart.
  • Bet the cold milk with both packages of instant pudding with a handheld mixer.
  • Put 1½ cups of the mixture in a piping bag with a large decorating tip or in a large Ziploc bag with a snipped off corner.
  • When the cake is completely cool, pipe the pudding into the holes, smoothing the remaining pudding over the cake with an offset spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Spread the Cool Whip over the pudding layer and decorate with the sliced strawberries.
