How to make Soft and Chewy Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake

Step 1: Following the package directions, prepare the yellow cake in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool completely.

Step 2: Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke the holes all over the cooled cake.

Step 3: In the meantime, combine the instant pudding, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Evenly pour this over the cake before the pudding has a chance to set up and thicken. Place the cake in the fridge for an hour to chill.

Step 4: To make the chocolate ganache, add the chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Over low heat, cream until simmering. Or melt the chocolate in the microwave.

Step 5: Over the chocolate chips, pour the hot cream and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to soften the chocolate. Then, stir until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Over the cake, pour the chocolate. Using a spatula, smooth the chocolate. Place the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Step 7: Once the cake is set, slice and serve. Enjoy!
