Like it? 
If you have not heard of a poke cake, it’s simply a baked cake with holes poked in the top using the end of a wooden spoon, so that you can pour pudding in the holes.
For this recipe you will use melted ice cream in the cake batter instead of milk.
For the pudding, you will also use melted ice cream instead of milk.
I used a boxed strawberry cake mix, strawberry ice cream, and a box of instant vanilla pudding mix.
Once the cake is done, you will poke holes in the top of the cake using the end of a wooden spoon.
Then pour your pudding mixture on top of the cake making sure the pudding gets down into the holes.
Use the flat part of a spoon to press the pudding into the holes.
Top with Cool Whip. There’s 1/4 cup of melted strawberry ice cream in the Cool Whip for additional Strawberry flavor.
You can freeze the cake for about 30 minutes before serving if you wish.
A delicious combination of strawberry cake with melted ice cream in the cake batter. Topped with pudding and Cool Whip.
Ingredients

- (If more liquid is needed, add a little water until it is the consistency of cake batter. Each cake mix is different so you may or may not need to add any more liquid)

- 1/4 c. Melted Strawberry Ice Cream

Instructions
- Prepare cake batter by adding in eggs, vegetable oil, and melted ice cream. To melt the ice cream put a heaping scoop in a bowl and microwave it for about 5 seconds, then in 5 second intervals until it is melted without scorching it.
- Bake cake according to cooking time on box, depending on the size of your pan.
- Let cake cool when done, then poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon.
- To make the pudding, put one box of vanilla instant pudding in a blender. Add 2 cups of melted Strawberry ice cream. Blend about 5 minutes until thick and well blended.
- Pour over cooled cake pushing pudding into the holes with the flat part of a spoon. Make sure you get the pudding in all of the holes.
- Layer Cool Whip over pudding mixture. Set in refrigerator for 2 hours or freeze before serving. Serve cold.
Notes
Serve cold or freeze before serving.

I just made the cake for Easter Sunday! I still have to add the cool whip layer however, I was unable to press all of the pudding layer into the cake. Maybe not enough holes? Is it ok for there to be a layer of pudding on top of the cake and then put the cool whip on top?
Absolutely!
That’s what I did with the rest of the pudding so it would be extra sweet! 
I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Easter Sunday! 
Instead of going through the trouble of melting strawberry ice cream you could just use one or two(not sure how many ounces they are) of those bottled strawberry milkshakes they sell in the dairy section. Also if you use chocolate pudding in the holes step you could have Chocolate covered Strawberries cake!!! Yum!
That’s a good idea and the chocolate strawberry cake sounds delicious! I may have to make that my next post!
