Strawberry Jello Pudding Poke Cake with Cheesecake Pudding

One of my all-time favorite go-to desserts for potlucks are poke cakes. They are so easy! I am going to share my collection of what I feel are the very best ones with you, starting with this Strawberry Jello Pudding Poke Cake!

The original recipe for this cake is pretty popular. It’s been circulating for many years, but it’s traditionally made with vanilla pudding. It’s been a tried and true, trusty recipe as is but as I was making it one day I decided to try leveling it up by using cheesecake pudding instead of vanilla. Wowsa! Best idea ever. Well, one of the best! HA!

When you don’t know what to make, make this cake! Some of my other favorite cake recipes are the Best Carrot Cake, Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake, and Blueberry Zucchini Cake!
