Chocolate Poke Cake

This is the perfect cake to bring to potluck parties or when you are hosting a party at home and you have no time to make a fancy layer cake.  I’ve made this several times. I went through a few recipes, the first one I tried, the cake was just okay and the icing was too sweet. Tried a couple more recipes and finally nailed it with this one after minor tweaks, I think  it is now worthy of sharing.

I’ve made this cake several times but I don’t know why I couldn’t take complete photos of the whole process especially the finished part. Lucky I was able to remember to take photos the last time I made this cake.

My photos are crappy as usual (I’m only using my phone camera for documentation) please bear with me.  I’m lacking some photos (again) but no worries this is a really easy recipe. Even newbies can make it  🙂

mix dry ingredients in a bowl
add in the eggs and the liquid ingredients (coffee is not in the photo, yet)
fast forward to this –after combining wet and dry ingredients, pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven
Meanwhile, make the filling by heating condensed milk and chocolate together
poke holes all over the cake using a wooden dowel or the handle of a wooden spoon or anything that can make holes, really
fast-forward again..Pour the filling and spread the frosting on top
enjoy:)
