Chocolate Sundae Poke Cake is the perfect make-ahead treat to bring out the kid in everyone!
Funny story.
I made this cake for a dinner party. We were digging in our pieces, ready to inhale this delectable dessert. A few bites in, it hit me. Something went wrong. I couldn’t taste chocolate. All I tasted was dinner seasoning! All of the sudden I startled everyone and said, “Does this taste funny to you guys?” Yes. “Oh my gosh. Stop eating! I messed up! I used flavored olive oil in my cake mix!” Palm to the forehead moment!
I usually use olive oil instead of vegetable oil in my cake mixes, but this time, I had poured a flavored olive oil (and didn’t pay attention to the label before adding it to my decorative olive oil container that I use) into the cake. It sadly went straight to the garbage can. It was nasty!
I redeemed myself and made it a second time and it was a MEGA hit! So, now you need to make it, too.
Now, go bake your cake and share it around!
