Believe it or not, you donโ€™t have to follow the rules when it comes to making boxed cake mix. The cakes are pretty tasty when you go off-script, especially when you turn them into poke cakes. Poke cakes are made by poking holes into a baked cake. Then, a pudding, Jello, or sweet sauce is typically poured into the holes, filling them with all kinds of tasty goodness. The recipes are excellent for a simple dessert, potluck, or BBQ with family and friends.
