With Irish cream in the cake batter‚ filling‚ and frosting‚ this easy St Patrick’s Day dessert has lots of Irish Cream Flavor. How To Make Irish Cream Poke Cake This poke cake is easy to make with a box of chocolate cake mix. Make the cake batter according the box instructions‚ trading out 1/4 cup of water for Irish Cream. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Let cool 10 minutes and then poke holes all in the top. Whisk together a can of sweetened condensed milk‚ heavy cream‚ cocoa powder‚ and Irish cream. Pour slowly over the cake so that it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for 1 hour and then top with Irish cream-flavored whipped cream. I also like to grate some semi-sweet chocolate on top. You can never have too much chocolate! Variations and Substitutions Use yellow or white cake mix in place of chocolate cake mix. Sprinkle the top with green sprinkles instead of grated chocolate to give it more of a St Patrick’s Day look.
