A fun bundt poke cake using fresh strawberries puts a new spin on strawberry shortcake! Moist delicious yellow bundt cake with fresh strawberries poking through and a cream cheese glaze topped with fresh berries.

Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • Strawberry Poke Mixture
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Cream Cheese Glaze
  • 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • Garnish
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

Instructions:

1.Heat oven to 325°F. Generously spray 10- or 12-cup bundt cake pan with cooking spray with flour.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Increase the speed to medium; beat 2 minutes, and pour the batter into bundt pan.
3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, puree Strawberry Poke Cake Mixture ingredients until smooth; transfer to a 4-cup glass measuring cup, and set aside. While still in the pan, poke holes in cake with the end of a wooden spoon at 1/2-inch intervals going almost to bottom. Use a wet paper towel to wipe the ends of a spoon after each poke. Carefully pour poke mixture over holes in cake, using a spoon to direct mixture into holes. If necessary, poke existing holes to make room for more mixture.
5. Cool 40 minutes; refrigerate in pan 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator, and run metal spatula around outer and inside edges of the pan to loosen cake; turn upside down onto a serving platter.
6. In a medium bowl, mix Cream Cheese Glaze ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. If too thick, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. Glaze cake as desired; garnish with strawberries.

Notes

  • Slice and refrigerate strawberries ahead of time, and your cake will be ready to garnish when it’s time to serve your guests.
  • Keep cake refrigerated until ready to serve.

Hi Nettie; Thank you very much. That seemed to work. This morning the puree absorbed more into the cake and hardened on top and the glaze came out perfect. Now for the taste test but I think it will be yummy!

Hi I am making this now and am having a bit of a problem. I followed the recipe exactly. The strawberry puree is just sitting on top of the Bundt cake. I am letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight to see if it goes into the cake but at this rate, I don't see how the frosting is going to spread properly without it just being a big mess on top and mixing with the puree.

Merry Christmas!

Try poking bigger holes in the cake with the end of the wooden spoon, freeze the cake if the puree doesn't pour down the holes. When the puree hardens a bit, top with the frosting.

I've made poke brownies but never a poke cake---mostly because they always seem to require Cool Whip. Now yours is one I'd love to try!!! Gorgeous and perfect for spring!
