Instructions
Creating a Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat until smooth and well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan.
- Poke the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface, approximately 1 inch apart.
- Prepare the Strawberry Pudding Mixture: In another bowl, mix the strawberry pudding powder with milk according to package instructions. Pour the mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to fill the holes.
- Add Strawberries: Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the top of the cake.
- Prepare the Crunch Topping: In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the strawberries on the cake.
- Add Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the crunch mixture, creating a smooth layer across the surface.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to let all the flavors meld and for the pudding to set.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy this delightful Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake any time!
