Fellow bloggers have been sharing “Poke Cakes” for eons. I jumped on the bandwagon with this Triple Chocolate Poke Cake and wowed my chocoholic family!
Chocolate Poke Cake
My first exposure to poke cakes was when my mom made a Jello version back in the 1970’s. A white box cake mix was baked in a 9 x 13-inch pan then holes were “poked” with the back of a wooden spoon and filled with liquid jello. Refrigerated, then frosted with Cool Whip, it was a delicious change of pace from our lackluster bowls of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. It was a perfect dessert for 4 teenage girls. But as my palate matured , Cool Whip and boxed mixes didn’t cut it, so I searched out some less processed recipes. By mixing and matching some recipes, I created this Triple Chocolate Poke Cake that drew raves from my family. In fact, on more than one occasion, the hubby commented that I should make this again as well as requesting it for his birthday cake next April!!

Don’t you love having your own dessert that you don’t have to share? These Mini Flans are creamy vanilla custards coated with homemade caramel. Yup, I knew you wouldn’t want to share!
Mini Flans
Our oldest pops by most Sunday nights to have dinner with the family. A month or so ago, he raved about a flan he had tasted at a nearby bistro. He may have been in college the last time I made one, so I added flan to the list of must make recipes. When Spanish Tapas came up as this week’s Sunday Supper theme, I had my excuse to whip up Spain’s version of crème caramel.�
