Boston cream poke cake

Refrigerate cake for 1 hour for pudding to set. Start the chocolate step after the 1 hour is over. In a small sauce pan over medium heat add heavy whipping cream.

Stir cream until it starts to simmer along the edges. Turn off heat. In a medium bowl place chocolate chips and butter. Pour heavy whipping cream over chocolate chips and butter while stirring carefully. Stir until chips and butter have melted and you have a nice smooth consistency.

Making this cake for the 2nd time tonight. My nephew, who loves Boston Cream Pie, loves this cake. Tomorrow is his birthday and he requested that I make it. Easy and delicious! Did not change a thing. Read More. Most helpful critical review Honkytonkgirlok. Rating: 2 stars. I must have done something wrong. Also, I thought the chocolate ganache was too thick!

Reviews: Most Helpful. Linda Essed. Chef Mo Allstar. There's nothing here not to like! I made the boxed cake mix just like it is written for the brand I bought just less oil. I poured the pudding over and let that sit overnight. The next morning I poured the chocolate over the cake and let that sit for several hours. Everyone loved it and it was simple to make! I reviewed this recipe previously. I just made it again with different results. Last time the 2 boxes of pudding were way too much, so I tried only 1 this time and it was way too little.

Recipe adapted from Amanda's Cookin. Enter your email address. Rated 4. Kristy Norrell. S2C Image. Ingredients 1 box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients called for on package 2 3. Preparation Prepare yellow cake in a 9xinch baking pan according to package instructions.

Let cool completely. Once cake has cooled, poke holes all over the cake using the end of a wooden spoon. And these are the major food brands like Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker. Are you finding this in your area also? I am in CT. Do you think these smaller boxes create the same quality cake? I'm so curious to hear your opinion.

Thank you for all your hard work on your blog. I made this the other day and although it tasted yummy, it was "liquidy" between the pudding and the frosting.

Do you know what I did wrong? Looks great! My daughter wants it for a b-day cake, but first I'm going to bring it to the company cookout. I'm sure everyone will love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the sweet comments!! I am SO happy to hear y'all like this recipe.

I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to leave a comment here telling me how it turned out for you!! Hi Brandi I absolutely adore your website! I just made your Boston Cream Poke Cake today. Its the first time I've ever made a poke cake. My cake was slightly mounded in the middle, not sure why that happened, maybe it beat the batter for too long?

Aside from that it was just perfect. I can't wait to make make more of your recipes. Thanks so much for all of your great pictures and hard work, they are very helpful. You have literally. Thanks for sharing.. Agree with the comment above. This is definitely better a day after chilling. Very tasty though!! This is delicious! I recommend leaving it in the fridge over night before serving though. I tried a slice last night and one this morning and it was definitely better this morning.

Made this the other night for my hubby's birthday. Boston Cream pie is his absolute favorite dessert. Hubs can't get over how much it tastes like Boston Cream and I can't get over how easy it was to make. Absolutely fabulous. I just saw this on Pinterest, pinned by one of the people I follow. How did I miss this one? OMG I love Boston cream pie! This is heaps easier and the top layer won't fall off the bottom layer if you sneeze.

I did make frosting was afraid to try the canned type. I learned from the 1st cake the bigger the holes the better! Made the cake and it was so good!!! I did not make the extra frosting because I thought the canned frosting was enough chocolate. Found you on Pinterest bet you get that a lot haha and tried this gorgeous looking recipe tonight to celebrate a big victory for my husband at work.

It was so simple, thanks for the idea, photos, everything!! I tried this for Easter and it was delicious, even though I microwaved the frosting just a little too long and it just ran off the pudding. Clearly, you have to get the right consistency for the frosting, but it was delicious and my husband was in love!

This recipe is a keeper! Made this boston cream poke cake, and was so glad that I made it in a 13x9 since my sister was over with her two boys! Needless to say, with four teenagers in the house and three adults Delicious and super simple!

My husband's only complaint was that the boys ate it all up and there wasn't a bite leftover for him to take to work. Good enough reason to make another one! I've made a similar cake before called Danube waves. You prepare the yellow cake mix, then spread only half of it in the pan.

Add cocoa powder to the rest of the batter, spread this on top of the yellow batter. Now "poke" cherries into the mixture to make the waves. After baking, add the pudding mixture and chocolate. Very yummy!!! Found this on Pinterest. I will be making it for Easter. Looks delicious! I will also now be following your site! Hi Cappy! Oh wow!! That is so wonderful to hear!

Where is your bbq joint? Anywhere in Virginia where I can come visit? Thank you for taking the time to let me know. I know running your own businesses takes a ton of work and there isn't always a lot of off time so I really appreciate you coming back here to let me know!

SO happy y'all have enjoyed this one! Thank you so much for letting me know! Craft Teacher, I'm so glad you have found some sugar-free options for this. It's always good to know in case other readers ask how they can make a dessert like this diabetic-friendly! Thanks so much! Thanks for a great inspiration!

This sounded so good! I took your idea and tweaked it. Used a sugar free Pillsbury Yellow Cake mix, and mixed it with a 12 ounce can of diet lemon lime soda.

Baked that in the 9x13 pan. Poked it and followed your other instructions except I used sugar free fat free pudding mix and sugar free chocolate frosting in the tub. It was yummy and well received!

Thanks for a great idea! Will be taking this to the inlaws for Easter! In the process of making this now fo my grandmother's 78th bday tomorrow. The cake is baked, the pudding is on and it is in the fridge cooling, then time for the chocolate! Can't wait to bite into it tomorrow!

Wowsers, your recipe looks creamy, moist and sweet. I would have loved a huge slice of this for dessert tonight! Anonymous, you don't need to provide a cell phone number to print this recipe.

If this is anything like your eclair cake and I believe it is, I am going to love this! The cakes looks yummy! Question about the extra frosting. Do you think you need it after pouring the canned frosting on the cake?
