Moist and Delicious Cannoli Poke Cake

by

Cannoli is breaking out of its shell and we aren’t mad about it… So that was pretty fantastic, right? I mean, how could your basic poke cake possibly get any better than that? By turning into a cannoli cake, that’s how.

Turns out, the poke cake idea is also a really easy way to make a phenomenal cannoli cake. All you do is start with a boxed white cake, poke those holes, and smother it withcondensed milk, sweetened creamy cannoli filling and mini chocolate chips. This is not just a cake-it’s dessert nirvana.

Oh, sorry, did I just make you drool again?
