Fresh Strawberry Chocolate Poke Cake Recipe

This gluten free recipe is made with fresh strawberries but could us any kind of berries at all. After a trip to pick buckets and buckets of strawberries though, it is strawberry time for us. It is delicious with a vanilla cake mix too! Try it all the different ways.

• Chocolate Cake Baked in a Well Greased Rectangle Pan
• Vanilla Pudding Mix
• 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 2 CUPS Fresh Cut Strawberries

You Will also need a blender!

The first step is to have a fresh baked chocolate cake HOT from the oven. Once you have that ready to go (in a rectangle baking pan), get started on these few simple steps to turn it into a Fresh Strawberry Poke Cake.

Poke holes all over the HOT cake. This is a lot of fun BUT beware – the insides of hot cake is HOT!

Step Two

Mix the pudding mix, heavy cream and strawberries in blender until creamy – about a minute to ninety seconds should do the trick.

Step Three

Pour the mixture over the cake and spread evenly. It will sink into the holes and make the insides of the cake super moist. This is a great job for a kid baking helper!

Step Four

Refrigerator for a couple of hours until the top sets. If you plan to leave the cake for more than 3 hours, cover with plastic wrap.

Serve with fresh strawberries on top. These can be cut into small pieces are added whole for that WOW factor. Whipped cream is a fun addition too. If you really want to go ALL out, add a little chocolate syrup.

We love fresh strawberries in all the yummy recipes. Here are a few of my favorites starting with these Gluten Free Strawberry Blondies.

Strawberry “Mushrooms” are fabulous served on top of brownies, cakes and ice cream as well as on their own. Grab the deets for these cuties HERE on the blog.

Strawberries are great in salads too. We love them tossed with lime in this delicious recipe.
