Don’t be afraid to bring this chocolate peanut butter poke cake as the dessert for a potluck. It’s easy, impressive and feeds 20.
Sheet cakes are an easy dessert to make—just bake the cake and frost it in its pan. But without the right flavors, this simplicity can often make the dessert feel ho-hum. My advice? Pierce the cake with holes and soak it in sweetened milk, transforming the dessert into an exciting poke cake.
This chocolate peanut butter poke cake is one of our best poke cake recipes. To make it, you’ll infuse an easy chocolate cake (thank you, box mix!) with a peanut butter-flavored soak, then top it with peanut butter frosting and all the peanut butter-chocolate fixings. As decadent as it sounds, it’s just as easy as making a sheet cake. Take this along when you’re in need of potluck desserts that feed a crowd and impress the masses, too.
