How To Make A White Poke Cake
Making a poke cake is so simple, and it really transforms from a basic cake into a decadent dessert. You simply bake your cake as directed. Then in a pan melt your chocolate chips and cream until melted. Then with a meat injector, you can easily put the ganache into the cake by squirting some into holes throughout the cake. That way within each slice of cake you have that sweet ganache throughout the cake. I find that with the thin texture of the ganache the meat injector does the trick! Less mess than trying to spoon it in!
Then with the leftover ganache, you put in the fridge to chill for around 3o minutes. This will help with whipping it and creating that fluffy and light texture like you would get from a frosting. With your spatula smooth it out and you have the easiest poke cake. Then top with berries right before serving and you have a scrumptious cake.
