Poke cakes are so much fun to make. They are moist and delicious, and the flavor options are endless. I wanted to make a cake the other day, so I used what I had on hand and came up with this Blueberry Poke Cake.

My son said it was one of the best cakes he had ever had.

Ingredients needed are

A White Cake Mix, Instant Cheesecake Pudding Mix (Vanilla would be good too), and for the Blueberry topping you need… Blueberries, Sugar, Lemon Juice, Cinnamon, and Cornstarch.

 Mix up and bake the cake according to directions on the package. Immediately poke holes in the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon. Let cool.

 While the cake is cooling or baking… Make the blueberry topping. Cool the blueberry sauce slightly.

 Mix the instant pudding according to directions (1 box of mix plus 2 cups of milk). Pour on top of cake, make sure the pudding fills up all the holes. Let the pudding set slightly. You can put in the refrigerator for this step.

Put the blueberry topping on the cake. Let the topping set. You can place it back in the refrigerator and take it out 20-30 minutes before serving.

1 small pkg. Cheesecake or Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix (I am sure you could use the large package of pudding for a more creamy topping and it will be delicious)

Mix up and bake the cake according to directions on package. Poke holes in the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon while the cake is still warm. Let the cake cool.

Mix pudding according to directions and pour over cake. Make sure all the holes get filled with the pudding. Let pudding set slightly.

Pour blueberry topping over cake. You can place it in the refrigerator so the topping will set up completely. Remove from refrigerator 20-30 minutes before serving.
