Pin, Bake and Stuff Your Face

Last weekend a good friend and coworker hosted a small bbq

 and asked me to bring a dessert.

Now, I know I talk about eating healthy a lot, 

but I am KNOWN for my yummy desserts at work.  

A few years back I would bake/create desserts

just for the fun of it and bring em into the office

for others to enjoy. 

Since I've been trying to be REALLY good, my dessert baking

as been mahjahly lacking. 

I've made this dessert before, but for a different group

and it was SUCH a crowd pleaser I thought it 

would be perfect for a summer bbq.

RED VELVET POKE CAKE

Get in My BELLY

Original pin found *here*

INSTANT Jello Vanilla pudding mix, Oreos, Red Velvet Cake mix [and everything needed to make the cake], whipping cream and sugar for homemade whip cream [or store bought coolwhip].

Bake cake according to directions. Once done, let cool for a few minutes then use a spoon to poke holes in the still warm cake. Be sure to get all the way down to the bottom.

Mix up the INSTANT pudding [wont work if it's not instant], then pour over the cake. Be sure to use a spoon to push the pudding down into the holes on the cake. Put in fridge for at least two hours.

If you are using store bought whip cream skip the first picture and just spread onto the cake. If you're like me, you'll wanna make your own whip cream. It's super easy and I just used THIS pin. I would probably double the recipe just to make sure you cover the cake completely. After you layer the whip cream, smash 10 or so Oreos and sprinkle on top.

AND ENJOY!

  A few quick notes:

*MAKE SURE TO BUY INSTANT pudding. 

I made the mistake once, I won't make it again.

*If you have stuff in your fridge that smells [not badly, just has an odor] 

make sure you cover your cake.

*Homemade whip cream is so much better than store bought :). 

This recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser I promise.

Let me know if you have any questions!
