poke cake
Hole-filled treat
A poke cake is a cake with holes poked into it after baking, allowing a liquid—usually flavored gelatin, pudding, or sweetened condensed milk—to seep in and flavor the interior.
The technique creates a moist, intensely flavored dessert: She made a strawberry poke cake for the potluck.
The name comes from the poking step, typically done with a fork or wooden spoon handle.
