Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake

 

I'm a big fan of poke cakes!  I love how an additional flavor gets seeped into an already moist and delicious cake.  It just takes the flavors up another notch.  I'm always trying to come up with different flavors and with blueberries being in season I thought it would be great to use those and add some lemon juice too.  I then made a lemon glaze and poured that into the holes while the cake was still warm...perfect!  This is a delicious breakfast cake or a great accompaniment to afternoon tea!

Banana Toffee Poke Cake with Browned Butter Frosting

  

Scratch ingredients turned into a delicious moist Banana Toffee Poke Cake with Browned Butter Frosting
 

Let me forewarn you...this Banana Toffee Poke Cake with Browned Butter Frosting and Toffee Bits is addicting; it's so moist and so delicious!  I had bananas that were pretty ripe and didn't want banana bread or bars so I decided to come up with a new recipe.  I wrote down a few ideas, combined them, asked my son what sounded good to him and this is what we came up with.  This is a scratch cake made with bananas and toffee bits, then we poked some holes into it so the delicious Browned Butter Frosting would ooze all down through the cake.  To top it off we sprinkled on some toffee bits.  The flavors came together perfectly, it's not too sweet and it is beyond moist and delicious.  If you have any leftovers you'll need to keep them in the fridge or the cake will get too wet and the toffee bits will melt since it's so warm out.  This cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert!

Snickerdoodle Poke Cake

 

The kids love snickerdoodle cookies and I love coffee cakes.  So I thought why not put the two of them together, poke it with holes and pour a delicious vanilla glaze on top.  All that glaze seeps into the holes and makes it moist and delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness and spice to satisfy your sweet tooth.  It's a simple cake to make and you most likely have all the ingredients on hand.  We all loved this cake which goes perfectly with a cup of tea!

Coconut Cream Poke Cake

 

 

Coconut cream cake is my husband's favorite and with Valentine's Day coming up I figured it would be the perfect time to make it for him. This cake is super simple to make, yet tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
