Speaking of poke cakes, you may enjoy this Reese's Chocolate Poke Cake too!  Poke cakes are soooo delish. 🙂

The first poke cake I ever had, was poked with orange Jello, in a white cake and topped with cool whip and it was pretty darn good and nothing like I had ever had before.  Just think how many jello flavors are out there?  You can really go to town!

This strawberry poke cake recipe is so moist and delish!  It has plenty of amazing strawberry flavor in the pudding and the cake to make you giddy! 🙂

Jell-o has a pudding flavor called 'Strawberry Creme', which is what I used in this cake.  But with the strawberry cake mix, I thought it might be too over-powering with strawberry cake and strawberry pudding together.  So, I added some sweetened condensed milk, milk and heavy whipping cream to the pudding mix to mellow it out.  Now, it's "Just right Goldilocks"!
