Top Tips for Poke Cakes

• Cool the cake slightly before poking holes in the cake and pouring the liquid layer over it, but be sure to poke holes while the cake is still warm.
• If the liquid is thick, you can poke larger holes with skewers, chopsticks, or the handle of a wooden spoon.
• Most poke cakes are even better if you let them chill in the fridge overnight before serving.
