Death by Chocolate Poke Cake

  1. Add the Hot Fudge: Warm the hot fudge sauce gently until it becomes pourable but not too hot. Pour it evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.

  2. Prepare and Pour Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Pour the pudding over the cake before it sets, spreading it evenly to fill the holes completely.

  3. Chill and Set: Place the cake in the refrigerator for about one hour, allowing the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.

  4. Top and Garnish: Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Finish by sprinkling chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolatey touch.

  5. Serve and Store: Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain its freshness and texture.


This Death by Chocolate Poke Cake delivers a rich, creamy, and intensely chocolatey experience that’s easy to prepare but impressive enough for any occasion. Perfect for family gatherings or weekend indulgence, this dessert is sure to become a beloved favorite that everyone will ask for again and again.
