I authored a poke cake book. Carrying on with more poke cake recipes, I’m so excited to share a new Boozy Strawberry Margarita Poke Cake recipe with y’all today.
What is a poke cake?
One of the most common questions I’m asked is, what is a poke cake? A poke cake is a baked cake that has holes “poked” in it. The holes are then filled with more yumminess – like jello, pudding, sweetened condensed milk, or some other filling. The sky is the limit with the flavor combos you can make!
I’ve gotta tell ya. This cake recipe is the perfect cake for summer! This particular poke cake starts with a strawberry cake filled with and topped with juicy red strawberries, lime zest, and margarita drink mix, MmmmMmmm!
Although I think this is the perfect summer party cake, it would also be great for a girl’s night – or anytime you want something with a little sumthin’ sumthin’ with your cake. ? And don’t think this cake is just for summer. Heck, I could see myself eating this in the middle of winter, to be honest. You can’t put boundaries on margaritas and cake.
