I’ve fallen in love poke cakes recently, and I’m wondering why I didn’t make more of them sooner. They are so good because they are so easy, moist throughout, often topped with whipped cream, and did I mention delicious?

This strawberries and cream poke cake fits all of these descriptions. It starts with your favorite white cake mix. I used a french vanilla cake mix, but any white cake mix should do just great. You’ll stuff the cake full of fresh homemade strawberry sauce and top it with whipped cream (cool whip or homemade works great). Serve the cake up topped with fresh strawberry slices to make it extra pretty.

I didn’t want this to be a traditional jello poke cake so I made a homemade strawberry sauce using fresh strawberries. So you’ll need fresh strawberries (I’ve made it before with frozen and they work great too – they’ll just need to be thawed so you can blend them up), sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Top it all with creamy cool whip and this is a cake you won’t forget. Its perfect for today, or all summer long! Easy enough for any occasion, but fancy enough for a party. I promise you’ll love it!
