Red Velvet Poke Cake
INGREDIENTS
1 mix of red velvet cake (more ingredients needed per pack)
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. Cream cheese, softened at room temperature.
6 tablespoons. unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 c. pastry sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir in a 9 x 13-inch pot and sprinkle with flour. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions in the box. Pour into the prepared casserole dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean for about 25 minutes.
Chill the cake in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then drill large holes in the entire surface of the cake with the rounded end of the wooden spoon. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface of the cake and spread it with a spatula to make sure it is poured into the holes. Cover and refrigerate for two hours.
If the cake can almost be taken out of the fridge, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, stir the cream cheese and the butter until frothy. Add the sugar and vanilla from the pastry chefs and mix to combine. Spread over the cake with a staggered spatula and serve.
