Poke cakes are great desserts, very popular in the USA. We don't really make them much here in the UK but they're so easy, definitely worth a try! I buy the Jello Pudding mix from Amazon - they're like our UK Angel Delight desserts which you can definitely use if you're not avoiding dairy products. The Vanilla and Banana Creme Jello Pudding flavours are completely gluten-free and vegan as these puddings are starch based. You can also look up my homemade Vanilla Pudding Mix recipe and make the whole thing yourself

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    This recipe makes a lot, it's a party dessert serving around 12 people so feel free to half the amounts of everything!

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and lightly grease an 11"× 9" dish

  3. 3

    Mix the sugar and yogurt together until the sugar dissolves. The Koko brand yogurt is made from coconut milk and is free-from dairy and soy

  4. 4

    Whisk in the oil and vanilla

  5. 5

    Mix the flour, cornflour, baking powder and bicarb together, then whisk into the yogurt mixture

  6. 6

    Pour into the baking dish and put in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes until firm

  7. 7

    Let cool then using the end of a wooden spoon, ruin your lovely cake by poking holes evenly all over it!

  8. 8

    Whisk the pudding mixture with the coconut milk until smooth then pour all over the cake. Shake gently so the pudding goes into all the holes

  9. 9

    Refrigerate for 2 - 3 hours until set well then layer sliced bananas all over. Do this just before serving so the banana doesn't discolour

  10. 10

    Cut into squares to serve - I cut into 12

  11. 11

    Pipe on some cool whip and drizzle with caramel sauce

  12. 12

    This dessert won't keep very long as the sponge will absorb all the moisture from the pudding within a couple of days so best eaten immediately
