I think I’m addicted to Poking cakes! Not only is a great stress reliever, but it takes regular, boring cake and brings it to life! There’s NO limit to what you can fill in those pokes! But, if you’re a fan of the good old Almond Joy, (or Almond Joy inspired treats), you will LOVE this perfectly poked plate of pleasure! If you don’t feel like a nut~~just don’t add the Almonds! 🙂
And of course, I had to go with some Hot Fudge…but hey, that’s just me~ Let your imagination run wild and get pokin’! 🙂
What you’ll need:
One Box of White Cake Mix
One jar of Hot Fudge Topping
One container of White Frosting
2 cups of Sweetened Coconut
1 cup of Sliced Almonds
Directions:
Bake the cake as instructed on the box.
Let it cool and poke it!
Now top it with the jar of Hot Fudge…
Spread it around, gently nudging it down into the holes…
Top that with the White Frosting
Top that with the Coconut.
Top that with the Almonds.
Serve it up…
Either on a plate with manners, or all alone with no manners..lol!
Eat it~~LOVE IT, ~Enjoy it, “Almond enJOY” it..haha! 🙂
Hi Amy. This looks so yummy. In the directions you said to let the cake cool before poking it. Is there any reason that I shouldn’t pour the fudge on while the cake is still hot? OR heat the fudge to pour on a cooled cake?
Thanks for another great recipe!
Aww..thank you Diane! I find that if the cake is too warm, it’s super difficult to poke, and could also become mushy when you fill the holes..but to each his own, it’ll taste good no matter what..lol. 🙂
I was wondering the same thing as Diane, I thought it would work better (hole wise) to heat the fudge. I do that with the salted caramel poke cake that you have shown, heating the caramel helps it to run down into the holes. Definitely trying this one!
What kind of white icing? Thanks, Linda
I would’ve to have your salted Carmel poke cake recipe.
Made this Almond Joy Poke Cake yesterday. It was soo easy and
the taste was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Can this cake be refrigerated overnight? I will be serving it the next day for a luncheon.
