Easy Chocolate pudding poke cake

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Dec 12, 2014 · Modified: Oct 21, 2021

Poke, poke, poke!

This cake was so stinkin easy, it almost seems silly to share.

But, hey that’s what I’m here for.

Today, I am sharing an easy chocolate pudding poke cake recipe

It was about that time for our Annual Bunco Christmas party.  We have a lot of fun! We play a game or two and do a white elephant gift exchange.  This year I got robbed but in the end wound up with a fabulous necklace that I know will be put to good use.

So for the party, I wanted to make a dessert, and make something different.  I have made every dump cake on the planet..I think, and wanted to make a cake.

My Mom shared her deep dark delicious chocolate cake with us last year.  That cake is dabomb.  But I will say it has a bit more time involved.  It’s worth it no doubt, I was just pressed for time, so I wanted to find quick and easy.

I put out some feelers on facebook and had one suggestion of a poke cake that sounded really yummy.  Sadly, it needed an entire day to sit, and I didn’t have time to do that.

So I googled poke cakes. I never made a poke cake.

I actually had to make two. One for the Bunco Christmas party and one for my family.

They would have been terribly disappointed had I NOT.

Simple ingredients.

ONE box of Betty Crocker Chocolate fudge cake mix. {I used triple Chocolate fudge just because}

1 box of Chocolate instant pudding pie filling

and the reeses pb chips were just because.  Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter combination?

I did buy frosting too, thinking I would have to frost it.  However, the pudding is the frosting too.

    Anything chocolate is a winner in my book Debbie, I have a weakness for dark chocolate. I will give this a try 🙂
