A vibrant and luscious Christmas Red Velvet Poke Cake with a soft crumb and creamy topping that’s perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • Eggs, oil, and water (as listed on the box)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Festive sprinkles or holiday decorations (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bake according to the package instructions and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a wooden spoon handle, about an inch apart.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the melted white chocolate until smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture over the still-warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes, and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  7. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated.
  8. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake, covering it entirely.
  9. Decorate with festive sprinkles or holiday decorations, then chill the cake for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer flavor.
  • Chilling the cake enhances the taste.
