“Every year 18 of us get together for our annual ‘Heart Party’ in honor of Valentine’s Day. Besides sharing a favorite craft, we bring 18 cookies and share a favorite recipe. This was mine from last year. The recipe is written using white chocolate, but you can use dark chocolate instead, or use half white and half dark. I like to decorate mine with candy sprinkles too.”

Poke cake is just a simple, fun technique that you poke holes in a warm, baked cake then you fill it with most any type of filling you like.
It makes a very pretty, dressed up or just fun cake rather than just ordinary. How much more fun is a yellow cake with chocolate pudding stripes, than just a plain old yellow cake?
The possibilities are nearly endless. I will offer you 30 of my favorite poke cake recipes here. This will give you enough ideas to experiment on your own.
