🍰 Boston Cream Poke Cake
Boston Cream Poke Cake is a fun, easy twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie, made in a single pan. Instead of layers of cake and custard, the cake is “poked” after baking so that vanilla pudding seeps in, and it’s topped with rich chocolate ganache. 🍫🍮
🍴 What’s Inside:
- Yellow or sponge cake – moist base
- Vanilla pudding – poured into the holes for creamy filling
- Chocolate glaze – smooth, sweet topping
🍳 Basic Steps:
- Bake the cake: Use a boxed or homemade yellow cake mix. Cool slightly.
- Poke holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a straw to make holes all over the cake.
- Add pudding: Pour vanilla pudding evenly over the holes so it sinks in.
- Chocolate topping: Melt chocolate (or make a ganache) and pour over the cake.
- Chill & serve: Refrigerate to set before slicing.
đź’ˇ Tips:
- Use instant pudding for quick results or homemade custard for a richer flavor
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before pouring so it spreads evenly
- Optional: sprinkle with powdered sugar or chocolate shavings for extra flair
👉 This dessert is moist, creamy, and chocolatey, perfect for parties or family treats—essentially Boston Cream Pie in a simple sheet cake version.
