Ingredients
  

Cake Mixture

  • 1 ½ Cups Flour
  • 1 ½ Cups Sugar
  • ½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 Whole Eggs
  • ½ Cup Milk
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Brewed Coffee Switch to 1 Cup of boiling water if you do not want to use coffee.
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Chocolate Pudding Mixture

  • 2 Boxes Instant Chocolate Pudding
  • 4 Cups Milk

Mint Topping

  • 250 g Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Mint Extract
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Drops Green Food Coloring
  • 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all ingredients. Mix all dry ingredients for the dough in a medium bowl.
  • Add egg, milk, butter and coffee. Stir using a wooden spoon.
  • Pour into a heat resistant mold. Bake at 190 degrees for about 30 minutes.
  • Dilute the pudding with milk according to the instructions.
  • Make holes in the biscuit with a wooden stick and pour the pudding over the hot pie. Allow this to cool completely.
  • Once the cake has completely cooled, beat everything for mint cream. Lay on top.
  • Garnish with chocolate drops and syrup. Cool down before serving.

Notes

  • I have made the chocolate cake for this recipe from scratch, but if you want to cut down on the cooking time and effort, you can just stick to using boxed cake mix, specifically chocolate cake mix and cook it according to package directions.
  • For some extra chocolate flavor, you can also throw some chocolate chips into the cake mix before you bake it.
  • To make the poke cake more moist and decadent, you can poke holes in the cake and pour sweetened condensed milk into it.
  • Remember that if you're adding sweetened condensed milk into it, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar you're using for the chocolate cake mix.
  • You can also prepare a simple topping using chocolate melts or chocolate chips, vanilla extract and some condensed milk to use as a frosting for this poke cake.
