We’re going old school with a quick and nostalgic dessert.
This simple retro poke cake brings me straight back to summer holidays, potlucks and hot afternoons. It’s especially delicious chilled, served straight from the refrigerator. For this version I swapped the usual fruit topping for red, white and blue M&M’S milk chocolate candies to give the cake a festive, patriotic look. The method is embarrassingly easy and perfect for busy days when you still want something impressive.
The recipe below is the final installment in my project with M&M’S. If you love sweet treats, I’ve also made a bunny cake and a confetti ice cream fudge pie in the same series. Make the cake ahead and chill it — the flavors meld beautifully overnight and the texture stays moist and tender.
