The Best Rocky Road Poke Cake

Poke cakes are so easy and fun. Have you tried Raspberry Poke Cake With Pudding or WW Friendly Orange Cream Pudding Poke Cake? Both are delicious and you can find both recipes on the blog. Normally Im not a big fan of Chocolate Cake, however, this one is over the top delicious. It is definitely very rich so a little piece will do you. I haven’t tried it yet  but for sure it would be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

So gather your chocolate lovers and treat them to this heavenly cake. You will be a hero for sure.
