Once the cake has cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Spoon the strawberry sauce evenly over the cake, letting it sink into the holes.
5. Add the Filling:
Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the top of the cake, smoothing it out with a spatula.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and additional whipped cream if desired.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
Tips:
Chop Strawberries: Be sure to chop the strawberries for the cake into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Make Ahead: This cake can be made a day in advance, which helps the flavors meld together even more.
Substitutions: For a different twist, try using a different berry sauce, such as raspberry or blueberry.
This Strawberries and Cream Poke Cake is a perfect blend of light and creamy with a burst of strawberry flavor in every bite. It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a special treat for yourself!
