Strawberry Fudge Poke Cake

By - 60 Comments

It is so easy to make a box cake mix taste like a decadent dessert.  This Strawberry Fudge Poke Cake is so delicious…you won’t want to stop after one piece.

Chocolate cake with a strawberry topping and hot fudge makes this an amazing dessert.
Last year I made this Chocolate Coconut Cake.  It was my first poke cake using sweetened condensed milk.  The only poke cakes I had ever made before were with a pudding or jello mix.  The sweetened condensed milk over the cake was absolutely delicious.  Something about a cold gooey cake topped with Cool Whip just satisfies every dessert craving in me.  Then I waited an entire year to make another one.  What was I thinking?

A few weeks ago I made this Coconut Fudge Poke Cake, and I remembered why I loved this cake so much.  It got me thinking of what other combos I could do with this cake.  And really, the ideas are still coming.  But this one stuck out in my mind and I had to go buy all the ingredients right away.

One thing that I love about this cake is how easy it is to make.  Only 5 ingredients/packages!!!  Ok, a few more because you also need eggs and oil to make the cake.  All you need is a cake mix, sweetened condensed milk, a can of frosting, a can of pie filling, and Cool Whip.  That’s it!    I just love easy peasy desserts.

Hurry!  Run to the nearest grocery store and buy these 5 items, so you can have Strawberry Fudge Poke Cake in your refrigerator too.  I promise you are going to love it!!!

    Delish! There goes my diet! I’ve only made poke cake with jello before. I bet the sweetened condensed milk was good. I could eat that stuff by the spoonful. Yum

        I saw many posts about how good this Strawberry Fudge Poke cake WOULD be if one were to make it, but no one said they actually made it! Well, I made it this weekend for our Mother’s Day gathering. I will say that it was delicious and moist!! Fabulous! The only comment I would make is that melting the chocolate frosting beforehand made it kind of…slippery when you put the cool whip/strawberry topping on! Even after being refrigerated, the cool whip layer slid right off of the chocolate frosting layer, when the pieces were cut. Still tasted great though! 🙂

    Wow. I hate sounding generic but man, that looks REALLY good!! Kinda sorta speechless at the moment 🙂 love the idea of doing a double-frosting, if you will. And mixing pie filling into Cool Whip is positively brilliant!

      I completely understand the speechlessness! I was kind of in awe when I cut into this cake too!!! Double frosting is definitely the way to go. I mean why stop with one now? Right?

    This may be a silly question but the cal is warm when you put the team s.c. milk and fudge frosting on it right? I have never made a poke cake (even a hello one) before so I just want to make sure I make this right for my anniversary tonight. Thanks so much!

      You will put the sweetened condensed milk on while the cake is hot! You want to wait to put the frosting and Cool Whip on after the cake has cooled. I hope you enjoy it. Happy Anniversary!
