Who loves poke cake? I sure do. If you haven’t made one before, poke cake gets its name because you poke the cake all over which allows the frosting or jello or filling (or whatever wonderful thing it is you’ve put on top) to sink down into the holes and lend extra flavor to every bite. It always provides for a moist and extremely tasty cake and this Eggnog Poke Cake is all those things, but it’s festive too. (And a little boozy, if you so desire.)
Like most poke cakes, this one starts with a box of cake mix, which keeps things really easy. Rather than just the requisite eggs and oil that usually go along with a mix, we’ve added some egg nog to the batter too.
You pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake it until it’s a nice golden brown.
