Description

A festive and indulgent Christmas Red Velvet Poke Cake featuring moist red velvet cake infused with sweetened condensed milk and rich hot fudge sauce, topped with creamy whipped topping, white chocolate chips, and colorful sprinkles—perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Red Velvet Cake

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)

Filling & Toppings

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 oz) jar hot fudge sauce
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Cake: Follow the instructions on the red velvet cake mix box to prepare the batter, then bake the cake as directed until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking.
  2. Poke the Cake: Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, take the handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes evenly all over the surface of the cake to allow the filling to soak in.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk slowly over the cake, making sure it seeps into all the holes you created, enhancing moisture and flavor throughout the cake.
  4. Apply Hot Fudge Sauce: Heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm and easy to spread. Pour it evenly over the surface of the cake, distributing it thoroughly over the condensed milk layer.
  5. Refrigerate the Cake: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to firm up.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips and festive sprinkles on top for an extra decorative touch.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cake is warm but not hot when poking holes to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • You can substitute store-bought whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Storing the cake in the refrigerator helps maintain the texture and flavor; consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Sprinkles add a festive look but can be omitted if desired.
