Which Boxed Cake Mix Should I Use?

I used this Classic Devil’s Food Cake Mix from Duncan Hines, but any box mix will work! I always take my cake out about 5 minutes before  from the package directions state to prevent dryness. However, all ovens are different, so keep an eye on your cake the last few minutes it’s in the oven!

Tips:

  • When poking holes into the cake, make sure you cover the entire cake. You don’t want a single bite of poke cake to be missing that delicious gooey filling!
  • If you don’t want to use store bought chocolate frosting, you will LOVE our 5-Minute Chocolate Buttercream Frosting recipe. It’s so Easy and delicious!
