Pumpkin Poke Cake
‘Tis the season for pumpkin. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin Alfredo (really?), but I have a new favorite pumpkin recipe. The pumpkin poke cake. It is so easy to make and only uses a few ingredients. I used a box cake mix (and got two box tops for education – it’s the little things that make me happy), but you could always make your own cake mix.
The kids helped with the measuring and mixing (adding a bit of learning while making our dessert). I’m thinking that this will be my dessert cake for Thanksgiving. Feel free to change it up and make it your own, this is just a basic recipe.
