Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake is a breeze! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13 inch cake pan lightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the blend is smooth. I love the aroma of the batter as it combines—almost like a comforting vanilla cloud. Once mixed, pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake it for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
