I've been intrigued by the concept of the Poke Cake ever since I first came across it a couple of months ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the way you make it is that you bake a white cake according to your favorite recipe or the instructions on the box. Then you poke it full of holes with a fork and drizzle freshly mixed Jell-O over the top. You then chill it for several hours (or overnight) and then frost and serve. You get those really cool color striations. If you bake multiple, thin layers, you can get as many as four colors in a single cake.

This particular Poke Cake was baked by Flickr user Thin Guy and looks quite yummy. Don't forget to head over to the Slashfood Flickr group and your fun food pics.

My mom used to make poke cakes, but instead of Jell-O, she used pudding.

Where I came from, poke cake involved ice cream topping - chocolate, caramel, or strawberry - poured over. Great memories of excess.

This disturbs me, but not in an excessive or rant-inducing way. :) The idea it makes me wrinkle my nose and cringe. The more I look at the photo the more fascinating it is, though. It would be good with chocolate, but I would feel so trashy eating it.

Slightly amusing: I've had this entry flagged to read at home for two days because it was blocked at work. I'm guessing that the word "porn" in the title was the reason.
