Poke Cakes are such a wonderful invention! Such a great way to throw together a delicious cake-and-cream dessert with almost any flavor you want!

For this we want to go AUTUMNAL. 

Just make any boxed cake mix according to the package directions. I suggest a yellow or white cake.

Allow the cake to cool and then use the end of a wooden spoon to POKE holes all over.

Next mix together the Pumpkin Cream filling. Just throw it all in a bowl and whip until creamy

**This is the same filling we use for our Pumpkin Cream Pie. Pumpkin Cream Pie

Then just simply spoon it onto the cake…use a spoon or rubber spatula to gently press the filling into the holes.

Add all of the filling on top and spread evenly.

Next whip up the stabilized whipped cream.

**If you haven’t done whipped cream like this before you should really give it a try. It tastes the same but gives the cream more body so that it holds it’s shape. (I might have whipped mine just a bit too long!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spread over the pumpkin cream and sprinkle with toffee bits. Or whatever you want really.

And Voila! You have a beautiful, yummy dessert.

ENJOY!
