Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake

strawberry cheesecake poke cake

A few weekends ago I made this strawberry cheesecake poke cake for family, and it was so delicious I thought I’d share it here with you!

I’m not typically one to bake, and not because I don’t like to. The reason is because I’m the type of person that can eat 8 cookies in one sitting and feel totally normal. AKA, if I bake I eat. So I try not to bake too much, so my treat consumption isn’t out of control. However, there are those times when you just want a dang delicious cake with real butter, cream cheese, and condensed milk, am I right? This strawberry cheesecake poke cake has all of those three things and is seriously a crowd pleaser.

Oh and if you’re wondering how many pieces I had, only three.

I hope you enjoy!

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine cake mix according to the ingredients on the box. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
  3. Bake cake in 9×13” for 20-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, you cake is done. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

  5. To prepare the strawberry sauce, rinse the strawberries and cut of the stems. Chop into quarters.
  6. In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine strawberries, water, sugar, lemon juice and flour; stir well. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture starts to boil and strawberries are softened. Gently smash strawberries to create a sauce. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Pour strawberries sauce over top of the cake and refrigerate until cake and toppings are cooled.
  7. Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes before preparing the whipped topping.
  8. Beat cream cheese on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until cream cheese is smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  9. Add 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Beat into cream cheese until cream cheese resembles a liquid mixture.
  10. Add remaining heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed. Slowly add remaining powdered sugar and beat until still peaks form. Spread over cooled cake. This cake must be refrigerated.
