What Is a Poke Cake?

A poke cake is a sheet cake that’s baked, then poked all over and filled with a sweet liquid — like pudding, condensed milk, or caramel — which soaks into the holes to create extra moisture and flavor throughout. In this version, a butter pecan cake is paired with a decadent praline caramel sauce that seeps into every bite.
