Craving a treat that’s both indulgent and easy to whip up? Look no further than this Boston Cream Poke Cake! It’s the perfect fusion of creamy and chocolatey goodness, wrapped up in a simple cake mix recipe that’s sure to wow your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package directions, using water, oil, and eggs. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Create the Poke Holes: Once the cake is cool, use the end of a wooden spoon or a straw to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart. Don’t worry about making them perfect; just make sure there are enough holes for the pudding to seep into.
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened. Spread the pudding evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Pour the ganache over the pudding layer, spreading it out evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Cut into squares and enjoy this delightful dessert that’s sure to impress!
Tips:
- For an extra touch, top the cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a few fresh berries before serving.
- If you prefer a richer chocolate layer, add a bit more chocolate chips to the ganache.
This Boston Cream Poke Cake is a delightful twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie, combining the creamy vanilla pudding and rich chocolate in every bite. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s as easy to make as it is to devour. Enjoy!
