A perfectly moist cake that never fails. This S’ mores Poke Cake is simply amazing. Full of flavor and topped with mini marshmallows. I pop them in the oven to broil to get them roasted just like it came off the campfire.
Perfect Poke Cake:
Poke cakes are my favorite. It’s no fail always perfectly moist. It’s the perfect way to dress up a box cake and make it something special.
For this recipe, I used a chocolate box cake and I topped it with mini marshmallows. It was amazing.
I served this cake at my son’s camping theme party and everyone loved it.
It’s something just a little more special then a regular box cake yet it’s still simple to make!
What is a Poke Cake:
A poke cake is just that, a cake you poke! You fill it with jello, pudding, or in this case, sweetened condensed milk.
Instead of frosting you usually top a poke cake with a cool whip and for this cake I did marshmallows. Poke cakes are usually pretty sweet and adding frosting would be overkill.
If you want to see a recipe that I used jello and cool whip then check out this recipe, Patriotic Poke Cake.
How to make S’mores Poke Cake:
Step one: Preheat oven and then prepare a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Mix cake mix with eggs and oil. Bake for 23-28 minutes or until cooked through.
- Tip: Check the cake box instructions. Your cake mix might call for other ingredients and have different cooking time. Follow those directions to prepare your cake.
Step three: Remove cake from oven and use the end of a wooden spoon to poke small holes all over the cake. Pour in sweetened condensed milk.
Step four: Top cake with mini marshmallows and place it back in the oven on broil for 20-30 seconds or until marshmallows are partially roasted. Remove from oven and serve. Your marshmallows can easily burn so keep a close eye on them.
Serving Poke Cake:
Traditionally you would place your poke cake in the fridge to cool but for this recipe, I also love serving it warm. In my option, it tastes more like a real S’more when it is warm and melty.
If you prefer it chilled then allow your cake to cool and place it in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving.
Storing Poke Cake:
After this cake is done allow it to cool completely. Cover the top with foil or plastic wrap then store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
