Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake

PREP TIME 10 mins

COOK TIME 20 mins

COOL TIME 20 mins

TOTAL TIME 50 mins

INGREDIENTS  

For the Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix 

For the Filling

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2½ teaspoons clear vanilla extract
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

For the Frosting

  • 8 ounce bar cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons clear vanilla flavoring 
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons half and half

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Preheat the oven to 350*. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with baking spray.
  • Prepare the vanilla cake as directed on the cake box.
  • Some white cake box recipes give the option of 2-3 eggs using the whole egg or only the egg whites. Either works for this recipe, so it’s personal preference.
  • These box cakes are almost always done baking several minutes before the suggested bake times on the back of the box so keep an eye on them in the oven! After baking, allow the cake to cool until it is still just slightly warm to the touch.
  • Using the end handle of a silicone spoon or spatula or a wooden handled spatula, poke holes in the cake. Spread the holes approximately a ½ inch apart. I prefer using the end of a silicone spatula and poking holes while the cake is still just slightly warm, the cake slips right off the spatula and doesn’t cause any surface cake rips.
  • In a heat safe bowl, add the 5 tablespoons of butter, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 1 min, remove and stir. Heat for another minute and stir. Stir and make sure all brown sugar clumps have been removed. Return to the microwave for 30 second increments until all lumps are removed.
  • Carefully ladle the butter mixture evenly over the top of the cake slowly.
  • Using a stand mixer, or a handheld mixer and a medium size mixing bowl, on medium to medium-high speed, cream the butter and cream cheese together. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl until fully incorporated.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the clear vanilla flavoring, half and half and the powdered sugar a ½ cup at a time. Don’t rush this process. Return the mixer speed to medium and continue mixing until the frosting is smooth and slightly fluffy.
  • Spoon all of the frosting onto the cake and smooth it out evenly with a silicone spatula or an offset frosting knife. Cake is ready to serve immediately or is also delicious chilled with some ice cream.

  • 9 Bunny Peeps 9-12 peeps
  • 20-25 mini candy eggs Cadbury, M&M, or Hershey’s eggs

Instructions

  • Add Oreos (filling included) to a food processor and blend until they reach a fine crumb. You can also place them in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Set aside 1/3 (around 9-10 cookies worth) of the Oreo mixture for the top of the cake. Press the remaining Oreo crumbs evenly into the bottom of a 13×9 pan.
  • With a hand mixer, combine the butter and cream cheese, beating until smooth and creamy, about 25-45 seconds.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing to combine on low speed.
  • Fold the cool whip into the cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding until smooth and the mixture begins to slightly thicken. Allow the mixture to set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  • Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture.
  • Pour over the Oreo crust, spreading gently to evenly distribute.
  • Add the remaining Oreo crumbs evenly on top of the dessert.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at minimum 4 hours or overnight.
  • For the topping, mix the shredded coconut with green food coloring to create “grass”. Sprinkle on top of cake.
  • Gently place the Peeps on top of the cake, pressing down slightly to make sure they stick up right.
  • Scatter chocolate eggs near the peeps and throughout any empty spaces.

Expert Tips & FAQs

  • Pop the dessert into the freezer for about an hour before serving for nice clean slices.
  • Switch up the flavor of the pudding to your liking. Chocolate, white chocolate, cheesecake, and even butterscotch pudding are all great options. Sugar-free instant pudding will work just fine as well in this cake.
  • It is truly up to you on how thick you’d like the crust and the top coat of Oreo crumbs to be. There is no wrong way, so eyeball it to your liking. We have made the layers both thin and thick, and it’s delicious either way! The only thing to note is that you’ll want the crust to be a bit thicker than the top coat so the base is fairly sturdy when removing a slice from the pan.

Banana Pudding Cake

INGREDIENTS

For the cake:

Cooking spray

1 cup full-fat sour cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 (15.25-ounce) box vanilla or white cake mix

1 (3-ounce) box cook and serve banana cream pudding mix (not instant)

For the frosting:

8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

1 1/4 cups cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups cold heavy cream

For assembly:

1 (11-ounce) box Nilla Wafers, divided

2 medium ripe (but not spotty) bananas

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the cake:

Place the 8 ounces cream cheese for the frosting in the bowl of a stand mixer and let it sit out at room temperature while you make the cake. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and large bowl.)

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.

Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray, then line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper.

Place 1 cup full-fat sour cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.

Add 1 box cake mix and 1 box banana cream pudding mix and whisk until smooth.

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared baking pans.

Bake until the cakes are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Place the pans on a wire rack and cool completely.

Make the frosting:

Add 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the bowl of cream cheese.

Beat with the whisk attachment on medium speed until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually pour in 3 cups cold heavy cream.

Continue beating until the mixture thickens and is smooth, 4 minutes.

Increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and doubled in volume, 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer 1 cup of the frosting to a small zip-top bag and set aside.

Assemble the cake:

Place 3 1/2 cups of the Nilla Wafers in a large zip-top bag.

Seal the bag and gently crush the wafers with a rolling pin or the bottom of the frying pan into coarse crumbs.

Peel and thinly slice 2 medium ripe (but not spotty) bananas.

Remove the cakes from the pans. Using a serrated knife, trim the rounded tops off of each cake.

Place one cake layer, cut-side down, onto a serving platter or cake stand.

Dollop with 1 cup of the frosting and smooth into a thin layer from edge to edge with an offset spatula.

Top with the sliced bananas, then 1 cup of the crushed Nilla Wafers in an even layer.

Top with the remaining cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Cover the sides of the cake with the remaining crushed Nilla Wafers by taking a handful of the crushed cookies and gently pressing them against the side of the cake (start at the bottom and work your way up) so they stick to the frosting.

Any pieces that don’t stick and fall off can be pressed back into the frosting until the sides are completely covered.

Snip off one bottom corner of the bag of frosting. Pipe small decorative mounds of the frosting around the top of the cake.

Insert a whole Nilla Wafer between each mound of frosting.
