Description
A delightful Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake that combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls in a moist cake infused with sweetened condensed milk, topped with fluffy whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set to the temperature indicated on the cake mix box. Meanwhile, generously grease a 9×13-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth and homogenous. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing it out with a spatula for an even surface.
- Create the cinnamon delight: In a separate bowl, blend the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this sweet mixture liberally over the cake batter, ensuring it distributes evenly to achieve that scrumptious cinnamon roll flavor.
- Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and poke: After the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Using a toothpick or skewer, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- Milk infusion: Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to seep into all those delightful holes.
- Cool completely: Allow the cake to cool down fully.
- Whip it good: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until you achieve stiff peaks.
- Frost and chill: Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake, finishing it off with a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
You can prepare the cake a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator after frosting. Adjust baking time if using an air fryer.
