Description

A delightful dessert that combines moist cake with a tangy cranberry topping, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • Fresh cranberries (optional for garnish)
  • Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix according to package instructions, using the water and eggs.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cranberry sauce and sweetened condensed milk, then pour this mixture evenly over the poke cake, filling in the holes.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely, then frost the top with whipped topping.
  8. Optional: Garnish with fresh cranberries and powdered sugar before serving.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Make sure to poke the holes deep enough for the cranberry mixture to seep in nicely. You can add a splash of vanilla extract for more flavor.
