Tips for Making Poke Cake
While this cake recipe is easy to make, there are a few baking tips to keep in mind.
- Be sure that you use a wooden handle to make the holes in the cake. This is the best way to not have the cake stick to the handle!
- If you want to change up the flavor of the cake, do so. You don’t have to make it chocolate – you can easily make it a vanilla cake or any other flavor.
