I made this today. I use Duncan Hines super moist triple chocolate fudge mix. The cake is not dry but moist. The fudge seeped through the cake just fine. I imagine after a few days in the refrigerator the cake will not be dry. All of the other ingredients will through. I select the lite sweetened condensed milk and low fat cool whip. The cake is really rich and sweet. You only need a small serving to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Update from my previous comment on Jun 3, 2018. I previously mentioned this dessert is really sweet. At first it is to me after I made it. It has been few a days now and it tastes even better. All of the flavors have gone through and not as sweet anymore. I will make it again. Next time I’ll substitute the peanut butter for custard or pudding instead.
I was talking to a friend she suggested weting the cake with 1/2 or 3/4 cup of milk after forking the cake. She said it makes the cake moist and then top of with the chocolate sauce.
Because I know your suggestions are the best I just revamped my typed written recipe of RPBC Poke Cake - using the cake ingredients in your Cookies and Cream Tunnel Cream cake. I will try this one again and let you know how it comes out!
what if you poured a box of prepared chocolate pudding mix over the top of cake to make the cake moist instead of using the chocolate syrup? Just a suggested.
In the Tasty site they did use the chocolate syrup on top of cake. They just put the cream cheese,peanut butter and condensed milk mixture over the top of cake. This could be why the cake is not moist?
But it could be that your holes are just not big enough. Going to try this sometime. Love making the poke cakes. They are so simple and everyone loves them. Maybe I`ll make one for my birthday next month.
I made this last night and wished I had found your video yesterday!!!! My bad! Your videos ALWAYS are the best in giving tips and hints. I too am worried that my hot fudge did not seep into the holes and my cake will be on the dry side. I will look up the other chocolate cake recipe you suggested and try this cake again. Thank so much YOYO! Catch ya later with another update! Also, thanks to ALL the posts here with great suggestions too!
You're wrong using whipped cream for this recipe causes the collapse of two separate but very important dimensions that affect our perception of space-time in this reality. Watch yourself.
I like mega moist gooey cake so I always soak them in syrup. I usually make a thinnish syrup (think like hot melted honey thickness) and pour it on hot, I have no problems with it sinking into the cake even without holes :)
I use the tip of my wooden spoon to poke the holes and use sweeten condensed milk with hot fudge and let it sit for 2 hrs before topping my cakes and they are always moist any thanks for sharing love your videos
I have never had much luck with the poke cakes. I could never get the stuff to go down in the holes even when I used the end of a wooden spoon to make the holes.
Poke it with a straw, put chocolate in a bottle with a tip, and squirt into the holes, or a cake decorating bag, with the long tip that fills up donuts.
I have heard of adding pudding mix to the cake mix to make it moister. Could that be done here? Or maybe use a chocolate cake recipe called Wacky Chocolate Cake a.k.a. Depression Cake because that is extremely moist. =) Just a couple of ideas I thought I would put out there. I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups....not sure they would last in my house long enough to cut up and put on top of the cake. LOL
Suggestions for your dislikes mentioned in the video... 1) use chop sticks to poke, instead of a fork, bigger holes... or 2) use a sheet cake pan to thin the cake part and drizzle with simple syrup or flavored syrup of your choice to moisten it. Hope the helps.

my dad loves anything peanut butter so I know what I will be making for him!!
Christina Miller he's gonna be a very happy camper
I love pb and chocolate :) One of my ultimate favourite flavour combos
mmm, chocolate & peanut butter is my fave :-)
Mine too (I guess you can tell by the number of those kinds of recipes I have on my channel , lol)
This looks yummy
Thanks for watching!
i love the smileys on the cream cheese you always make ☺
THanks!
liskaLIT they're born that way, what are you talking about??
poke the cake with a knife. the holes the fork makes is to small for the chocolate to seep through
pro log or the handle end of a wooden spoon
newzealand56 I tried it with wooden spoon and the chocolate still didn't work it's way into the cake
I was talking to a friend she suggested weting the cake with 1/2 or 3/4 cup of milk after forking the cake. She said it makes the cake moist and then top of with the chocolate sauce.
I think wetting the cake with a diluted form of chocolate syrup or a simple syrup would help alot
Bigger holes may have helped, but I think a thinner syrup would have been better. Thanks for watching!
Great recipe, thanks 👍☺️☺️
this looks sooooooooooooooo good
Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, please let me know :) Thanks for watching.
Very yummy and delicious
Thanks!
it looks good. I wonder if you used a different kind of sauce it would work
I thinned out syrup would have worked I think :) Thanks for watching Patty
You should try it with much bigger holes in think you'd like it that way if you tried it
I usually use the handle end of my wooden spoon to poke holes with in a poke cake just for that same reason =)
Another sinful dessert! I bet it's a lot of fun making these layered desserts! xo
I love how they look when you cut them :) THanks for watching Barb
Will it taste okay if I use sad cream cheese?
glerpwasaboy absolutely not!!
Should be okay, you may feel a slight sense of melancholy after eating the cake though, should only last a few minutes though :)
Can you use whipped cream?
Maybe try it with a (warm) chocolate ganache? And add some reese's to the cake batter.
Yum! Excellent suggestions, thank you.
what if you poured a box of prepared chocolate pudding mix over the top of cake to make the cake moist instead of using the chocolate syrup? Just a suggested.
In the Tasty site they did use the chocolate syrup on top of cake. They just put the cream cheese,peanut butter and condensed milk mixture over the top of cake. This could be why the cake is not moist?
Error:In the Tasty site they DID NOT use the chocolate syrup. :(

glad you're still so active and bubbly :)
Thanks :)!

I've seem other recipes make bigger holes in the 🎂 cake
Can you use real whipped cream instead of the Cool Whip in the topping?
No.
Celeste K u can actualy
You're wrong using whipped cream for this recipe causes the collapse of two separate but very important dimensions that affect our perception of space-time in this reality.
Watch yourself.
Do you prefer smooth or chunky peanut butter?
this isn't a poke cake are you kidding me using a fork? and expecting the chocolate to seep though those tiny holes.
You are awesome, don't ever change okay?
I like mega moist gooey cake so I always soak them in syrup. I usually make a thinnish syrup (think like hot melted honey thickness) and pour it on hot, I have no problems with it sinking into the cake even without holes :)
I think that would be a good idea for this for sure! Thank you :)
you should always use a simple syrup on cakes it keeps them moist.
That is very good advice, thank you :)
u are supposed to use the handle of a wooden spoon,,, it pokes HOLEs in it big enough for the stuff to seep down
happy family day
Thank you!
Next time, poke holes with a straw!
I use the tip of my wooden spoon to poke the holes and use sweeten condensed milk with hot fudge and let it sit for 2 hrs before topping my cakes and they are always moist any thanks for sharing love your videos
What if you mixed condensed milk with the hot fudge to thin it out? That way it seeps into the holes better and isn't so thick.
That's a good idea, thanks!
yummm
Are max and his friend still doing the gamer box videos ?
They stopped sending them to us :) I'm going to be doing some snack box unboxings soon, don't know if Max will want to participate though
I have never had much luck with the poke cakes. I could never get the stuff to go down in the holes even when I used the end of a wooden spoon to make the holes.
I've only ever had luck with very liquid toppings (like when you pour liquid jello on top)
Poke it with a straw, put chocolate in a bottle with a tip, and squirt into the holes, or a cake decorating bag, with the long tip that fills up donuts.
interesting idea! thanks!
Aww I miss the intro with the slide show of the cow kettle
Looks yummy!!!
wow buteful
Is there a way I can make the icing without the cream cheese? I want to make it for my boyfriend but he hates cream cheese
Look for a peanut butter buttercream recipe and this should do the trick
Third, can you do a milk chocolate with caramel cake?
Thanks for these suggestions!

A different cake recipe would have been better for this for sure :) Thanks for watching
You're welcome...love watching your videos...especially the smiley cream cheese. =)
next time use the back of a wooden spoon instead of a fork to poke.
Second, Can you do more recipes with strawberries please? ;)
Thanks for the request :)
