What is a Poke Cake?

A poke cake is a cake that is baked and then poked with holes all over. The holes are then filled with a creamy mixture (like pudding, sweetened condensed milk, caramel, or cream cheese). For this recipe, the red velvet makes it extra festive for Christmas or Valentine’s Day! Red velvet desserts are perfect for the holidays!

What Flavor is Red Velvet Cake?

Red velvet is a perfect blend of both chocolate and vanilla. It has a subtle cocoa flavor and has a lot of red food coloring added to give it the signature red color.
