Luscious Boston Cream Poke Cake
Ingredients:
- For the Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (typically water, oil, and eggs)
- For the Filling:
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups milk
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions and bake in the prepared baking dish. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Make the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mixes and milk until smooth. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, spreading it evenly and ensuring it fills the holes. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled cake.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, spreading it out evenly.
- Return the cake to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least another hour before serving to set the ganache.
