Red Velvet Poke Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
"The cake is fast, easy, and it's a poke cake so it's automatically super soft and moist. After baking poke holes in the cake and drizzle in sweetened condensed milk. The tangy cream cheese frosting perfectly complements the red velvet flavor as do the mini chocolate chips and they add a perfect amount of texture to this otherwise soft, decadent, and very easy cake. You can make scratch cream cheese frosting or to save time use storebought cream cheese frosting in a tub...."
