Welcome O!’Chef, to where the recipes are hot and the tips are fresh! If you’re a fan of classic tiramisu, you’ll love this easy-to-make Tiramisu Poke Cake. With every bite, you’ll get a moist and flavorful cake that’s infused with creamy coffee flavors. This poke cake recipe takes the hassle out of making traditional tiramisu by using a boxed cake mix and a simple pudding topping. Follow these simple steps and make this delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Indulge in the classic taste of Tiramisu with this easy-to-make cake. A poke cake is a unique way to infuse flavor and moisture into the cake by poking holes in it, allowing the filling to seep into the crumb. This method transforms the traditional Tiramisu recipe into a simple everyday dessert without the need for Ladyfingers.

Using a box of yellow cake mix makes the baking process especially simple. Just follow the instructions on the box, bake it in a 9×13-inch pan, and once it has cooled a bit, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.

The filling is made using instant vanilla pudding mixed with espresso powder and Kahlua to give the cake its signature coffee flavor. If you want to skip the alcohol, you can increase the amount of milk you use instead. Spread this coffee/pudding mixture over the cake, and you can even push it down into the holes for better penetration.

The final step is to spread homemade whipped cream over the top and dust the cake generously with cocoa powder. This cake is incredibly easy to make, yet it retains all of the delicious creamy coffee flavor that makes Tiramisu so popular.

Welcome O!’Chefs, to where the recipes are hot and the tips are fresh! Today, we are bringing you a classic Red Velvet Cake recipe that is perfect for any special occasion. This cake has a rich, velvety texture with a subtle chocolate flavor that is perfectly complemented by the cream cheese frosting. Let’s get started!

Red velvet cake is a classic dessert that has been around for over a century. It’s believed to have originated in the southern United States and was a popular dessert during the Great Depression. The cake’s signature red color comes from the reaction between the cocoa powder and vinegar in the batter. The result is a cake with a beautiful red hue, a tender crumb, and a slightly tangy flavor.

Now, let’s begin the O! Recipes Show and dive into the ingredients that make this recipe so special:

Servings: 12-14 slices

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Now, let’s dive into the ingredients that make this recipe so special:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Time to get cooking! Follow these simple steps!

HOW TO :

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar until well combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, stirring until just combined after each addition.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top of one cake layer, then place the other cake layer on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake to create a crumb coat. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
10. Once the crumb coat has set, spread a final layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake, and use a spatula to create a smooth finish. Chill the cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
