Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake – Super Easy Recipe

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake Recipe

Stuff you might need or like:
Poke Cake Recipes eBooks (amazon)

NOTE:  Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Darlene’s Tips:   Use store brand ingredients to save! And you can do this with any cake. It does not have to be a sheet cake. Play around with different flavors too, like pineapple cake with banana pudding! You could always add sprinkles to the top of the cake to match the season or holiday.

INGREDIENTS:

Cake
1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist yellow cake mix
    plus water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Filling
1 box (4-serving size) vanilla-flavored instant pudding
2 cups milk
Frosting
1 container Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting

DIRECTIONS:

1  Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

2  In large bowl, make cake batter as directed on box. Pour into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes.

3  With handle of wooden spoon (1/4- to 1/2-inch in diameter), poke holes almost to bottom of cake every 1/2 inch, wiping spoon handle occasionally to reduce sticking.

4  In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 45 to 60 seconds or until slightly thickened but still pourable. Carefully pour over cake; spreading evenly over surface. Work back and forth to fill holes, tapping pan lightly on counter several times. Refrigerate 2 hours.

5  In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 15 to 30 seconds or until slightly warmed and thinner consistency. Quickly spread evenly on top of cake up to edges; refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. To serve, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

It’s Monday!

Two weeks from today I will be waking up in Memphis.  I’m anxious to be home already! lol  Yes, I love to visit Skylar and Derrick. But also big yes to the fact that I hate change in my routine. It makes me a crazy person.

I was busy cutting fabric yesterday.  It actually wore out my arms! lol  I felt like I was running a fabric store. Today I have to get all the packages ready for tomorrow’s pickup. Not sure I’ll feel up to going out. I need to hit walmart, but I’m thinking tomorrow. I will be way too busy today for that.

I did knock out a couple of videos last night.  I did a Nightcap Vlog to chat about what I have on ebay and I chimed in about a few other things.  Then I recorded my first Crocheted Block – Seed Stitch that will be part of my scrappy afghan that I’m working on as part of my crochet series!

Oh, and I also did a Patreon Stats for October video for my patrons similar to what I do for my youtube earnings. Except there are not as many stats to share on patreon. Just the same, I thought my patrons would like to see how it all works. And I also give insights as to some behind the scene stuff for anyone considering getting their own account.

I did not get much sleep last night then the little bit of sleep that I got this morning was interrupted by the pesky phone.  Twice.  Do hate.  It’s going to be a busy day so I’m sure I’ll be looking foward to bed time, where I can lay awake for another night. lol

What I’m Watching Tonight:  Dancing with the Stars.
