    Oreo Poke Cake

    Dessert just may be the favorite part of a meal for many people. Put this Oreo Poke Cake on your menu, and everyone will happily skip the entrée altogether and head straight to dessert. Not only is Oreo Poke Cake delicious, it is like having 2 favorite desserts in one! It perfectly marries Oreo cookies together with a moist, fluffy, pudding-filled white cake that is frosted with cream cheese frosting, and then topped with whipped topping. This dessert doesn't know when to quit!

    What is Poke Cake?

    Poke Cake was invented in 1969 by General Foods Corporation, as a way to increase sales of their flagship product, Jell-O. Their original poke cake is made by baking a white sheet cake, poking holes with a fork all over the top of the cake, and then pouring strawberry Jell-O all over the top of the cake, allowing it to fill the 'poked' holes. But, bakers are now moving beyond gelatin and filling their poke cakes with everything from flavored syrups, chocolate, and salted caramel, to fruit purées, puddings, and even boozy cocktail mixes.

    Why You'll Love This Oreo Poke Cake Recipe

    • It is has a little something for everyone. Oreos for the cookie and the chocolate lover. Cream cheese frosting for the person who loves the taste of cheesecake. And fluffy whipped topping to make it pretty and to balance the chocolate.
    • Because, as is typical of poke cakes, it is super moist! The white chocolate pudding filling in all of the poked holes makes each bite deliciously moist.
    • Since it has to chill for 4 hours, it is a great cake for the warm weather months! It is almost like an amped-up ice cream cake. Cool and so amazingly tasty.
