Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy strawberries: This will ensure the best flavor for your poke cake. If you can, use local or organic strawberries for the best quality.
  • Make sure your cake is completely cooled before poking holes in it: Otherwise, the cake will be too soft and the glaze will not set properly.
  • Be generous with the glaze: You want the cake to be moist and flavorful, so don't be afraid to use a lot of glaze. You can always add more if needed.
  • Let the cake chill for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the glaze to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your cake.
