Virtually Heaven Cake

It is a poke cake, that means {that a} baked cake is poked with holes after which a filling seeps in. The filling is a selfmade pineapple jam made within the Prompt Pot. The runny jam seeps into the holes within the cake, infusing it with taste and moisture. This cake will get higher in the event you can let it sit for some time. I discovered that 24 hours later tasted higher than recent. I counsel anytime between 8-24 hours.

You will get artistic with the flavour of cake you utilize. I used yellow cake combine however once I make this once more I could attempt a lemon or coconut cake combine as an alternative!

After I was making this cake I had flashbacks to when Greg and I had been relationship. His roommate would all the time bake a plain yellow cake combine and simply eat it all through the day for his breakfast, lunch and dinner. He was a match man and looking out again I’ve to chortle. Solely a 20-something yr outdated would get away with consuming cake for many days of the week.
