A couple years ago I discovered cookie butter. I kept seeing mentions of Biscoff this and Biscoff that, and I had no idea what it was. My husband knew about the Biscoff cookies because he used to fly Delta quite often, but I had never tasted one til he brought a package home. And, boy are they addictive! Then, I saw Biscoff spread at the store and I basically hooked my entire family on this stuff.
My secret little indulgence is a square of Hershey’s chocolate with a little dollop of cookie butter. Chocolate and cookie butter are like the perfect combination together. I thought a Cookie Butter Poke Cake might just taste amazing with chocolate cake and cookie butter paired together. My husband had a potluck at work, so I sent him to work with this cake. And, because my kids think I never make them the “good” recipes, I made them the same poke cake as well.
Everyone at my husband’s work loved it. They always devour my desserts. However, these people have not heard of cookie butter!?! They have no idea what they are missing. My husband told them all about it.
This is your typical poke cake except instead of pudding or jello, I just used a box cake mix. I chose a fudge cake over devil’s food so it would be a bit more moist. I always think devil’s food cake is too dry.
After poking the holes, I thinned out the cookie butter using whipping cream and slathered it over the top before frosting with Cool Whip. I thinned the cookie butter to be more like a pudding consistency rather than a runnier consistency.
If you love cookie butter, you’ll definitely enjoy this Cookie Butter Poke Cake! Plus, it’s just so easy to make. Don’t you just l love those kinds of desserts?
