Red Velvet Poke Cake - red velvet cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk and chocolate and topped with a quick homemade cream cheese frosting. SO good! Great for potlucks and the holidays.
I think Red Velvet Cake is a requirement for the holiday season. This Red Velvet Poke Cake is definitely required for any holiday celebration this season! OMG! This cake is out of this world delicious!
Poke Cakes are one of my favorite desserts because I can make them a few days ahead of time and they get better the longer they sit in the fridge. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight gives the cake time to soak up all that yummy chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. It is hard to wait overnight to eat the cake, but it really is better if you can muster up the will power to wait.
The star of this recipe might be the quick homemade Cream Cheese Frosting! OMG! It really puts this poke cake over the top!! This Red Velvet Poke Cake is going to be a staple at all of our holiday parties. It is great for potlucks or even a homemade gift. Bake the cake in a foil pan and pop a bow on top.
