Description
Poke cakes, often made by pouring instant Jell-O or boxed pudding mix into a sheet cake poked with holes, became popular in the U.S. in the 1970s as a way of combining convenience food items into a fast and easy dessert. While many poke cakes feature fruity fillings, we chose the more indulgent combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Our homemade poke cake recipe may require a few more steps than the original, but the from-scratch chocolate cake, rich peanut butter ganache filling, and fluffy peanut butter frosting are worth the extra effort.
