@christopherhopkins1: Strawberry Chocolate Fudge Poke Cake This is the kind of dessert that looks gloriously messy for all the right reasons. A soft chocolate cake is soaked with warm fudge, covered with a creamy cheesecake-style topping, then piled high with juicy strawberries and another drizzle of chocolate. Every spoonful gives you chocolate, cream, berries, and an extra-moist cake underneath. Ingredients For the chocolate cake 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 1¾ cups granulated sugar ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1½ tsp baking powder 1½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup vegetable oil 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup hot coffee or hot water For the fudge soak 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk ⅓ cup heavy cream For the creamy topping 8 oz cream cheese, softened ¾ cup powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1½ cups cold heavy whipping cream For the strawberry topping 1½ lb fresh strawberries ⅓ cup strawberry preserves 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp water For the chocolate drizzle 4 oz semisweet chocolate ½ cup heavy cream Instructions 1. Bake the chocolate cake. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined, then gradually stir in the hot coffee. Pour into the prepared dish and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. 2. Make it a poke cake. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes. While still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to make holes approximately 1 inch apart across the surface. Heat the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and cream gently until smooth. Slowly pour the warm fudge mixture over the cake, concentrating some of it inside the holes. Cool completely, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. 3. Prepare the cream layer. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to firm peaks
