Halloween Poke Cake

Recipe #137733 | 55 min | 20 min prep | add private note

I have long been a fan of other "poke cakes", because the fruity gelatins make the cake incredibly moist and give it a nice burst of flavor. I thought this would be a nice rendition for Halloween. It comes from Quick Cooking magazine.

    I had plans to make this during Halloween week, but forgot about it until this week. A little late, but that's ok. I also could not locate any of the little pumpkins after Halloween, so I used regular candy corn. Cake is supper moist as all pokes cakes are. You even use a can frosting to save time. Nice treat for Halloween or just Fall. Thanks!

    Little late on making this for Halloween, but convinced my DS's candy corn pumpkins are during the fall season in general! Like why would they care? It is cake after all! My family enjoyed this, I don't care for sweets, so 'I' couldn't rate it..their smiles said it all. It wasn't wet like a Christmas poke cake that I've made in the past Thanks DogandCatDoc!
