How To Make boston cream poke cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour, or use Baker's Joy spray, to prepare a 9"x13" casserole dish.
-
Step 2Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Let cake cool completely before proceeding (one hour on the counter and 1/2 an hour in the refrigerator is recommended.)
-
Step 3Use the round handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes (all the way to the bottom) all over the cake. Set aside.
-
Step 4Whisk together instant puddings, milk and vanilla extract. Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour all over the cake, using a spatula to evenly distribute and guide the pudding into the holes. Refrigerate cake for one hour before proceeding.
-
Step 5Over medium heat, warm cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and corn syrup; stir several minutes until smooth.
-
Step 6Let cool for 10 minutes, then evenly pour/spread chocolate mixture over chilled cake. Use a toothpick to burst any small bubbles in the chocolate for a glassy smooth top.
-
Step 7Refrigerate cake for several hours or overnight before serving. Store in refrigerator.
