Ingredients

  

• 1 box of vanilla cake mix disregard back of the box
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 stick of melted butter salted
• 1 can 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk
• 3 tbsp of brewed coffee
• 1/3 cup of Kahlua
• 1 tbsp of cocoa powder
• 1 tsp of espresso powder

Whipped Icing:

• 6-8 oz of mascarpone cheese
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp. of Kahlua
• 1/2 tsp. espresso powder

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, 1 cup of milk, 3 eggs, and the melted butter. Mix until well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
• Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and pour the cake batter into it.
• Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the coffee-Kahlua mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, brewed coffee, Kahlua, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until well combined. Set aside.
• Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• While the cake is still warm, use a fork to poke holes all over the surface. Make sure to only poke about 3/4 of the way down, avoiding the bottom of the cake.
• Slowly pour the coffee-Kahlua mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Continue pouring until the mixture is completely absorbed.
• Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
• To prepare the mascarpone topping, beat the mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl for approximately 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
• Add the heavy cream to the bowl and continue beating for about 5 minutes or until the mixture forms stiff peaks and resembles a frosting consistency.
• Gently fold in 3 tbsp of Kahlua, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp of espresso powder until well combined.
• Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the mascarpone topping evenly over the chilled cake.
• For an elegant finishing touch, dust the cake with cocoa powder.
• Slice and serve this luscious Tiramisu Poke Cake to savor the delectable flavors.

Notes

• For an extra touch of richness, you can brush the top of the cake with additional coffee or Kahlua before adding the mascarpone topping.
  
• Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the mascarpone topping to prevent it from melting.
