Tiramisu poke cake is an absolutely incredible dessert that’s fun and easy to make.

Poke cakes are always a great choices for dessert. Especially when there’s a crowd to feed.

The ingredients are generally simple and they could not be easier to put together.

This tiramisu one is no exception. It requires very little effort on my part.

Traditional tiramisu is one of my favorite Italian desserts. Everytime I see it on a dessert menu, I have to order it.

Making it at home requires a lot of work. It’s a labor of love for sure.

If I have the time that’s no problem but as a bust Mom of two, I often don’t.

This cake recipe is a lifesaver in those moments where I’m craving this dessert but need to make it in half the time.

This recipe is alway a huge hit when I make it for my friends and family. Everyone just loves it.

This is even a dessert that I’ve served on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, too.

I hope you give this one a try. If you do, I know that you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Tiramisu Poke Cake Variations

I like this cake recipe made just reheated way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Cake Mix- French Vanilla Cake Mix can be substituted for white cake mix if needed.
• Coffee- 6oz of water mixed with espresso powder or cold brew coffee are both ok to use.
• Mascarpone- if you can’t find this kind of cheese, cream cheese will work, too.
• Topping- A light dusting of cocoa powder on top would be great instead of the chocolate bar shavings.

Then, pour the mixture over the cake evenly and let it seep into the holes.

Next, place it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
