STRAWBERRY POKE CAKE

This Strawberry Poke Cake is made with a moist vanilla cake covered with sweetened condensed milk and a fresh strawberry sauce! It is then topped with cream cheese whipped cream for a delicious strawberry treat that is homemade from scratch!

I’m so excited to finally share this Strawberry Poke Cake with you today! After many versions of this cake, I finally have a winner! I wanted to make it completely from scratch with no cake mix and it took a while to get it just right. I considered using a couple different versions of my vanilla cake and experimented with both of them.

INGREDIENTS

VANILLA CAKE

• 2 3/4 cups (358g) cake flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups (310g) sugar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

• 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, pureed*
• 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

CREAM CHEESE WHIPPED CREAM

• 1 3/4 cups (420ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
• 3/4 cup (86g) powdered sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease a 9×13 cake pan.
• 2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• 3. Add the butter, sugar and oil to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
