Strawberry Poke Cake
Our Strawberry Poke Cake consists of a simple sponge cake, with strawberry pudding filled holes, covered with whip cream and decorated with slices of fresh strawbwerries in it.
The American Poke Cake is normally topped with Jelly. I created it my own, and this was the result.
The art is cutting the pieces exactly where the holes are, then the cake gets the “Poke optic” effect. But it is anyhow very tasty and fruity.
In any case, you can poke many holes in the cake, and deep, because they can still shrink a little.
