Of course if I have left over candy, I could make some of my candy-filled treats like these Butterfinger Cupcakes or Butterfinger Cheesecake, Mini Reeses Cheesecakes or even add a bunch of candy to a classic cookie cake. Candy plus baked goods equals one tasty treat.
Of course even better than a candy-filled treat is an adult treat that’s flavored with liqueur! You may have noticed that I’m a fan of those kind of treats and this Raspberry Chambord Chocolate Poke Cake is my newest addition. I love the fresh pop of raspberry with the chocolate – delicious!
The cake begins with the most wonderfully moist chocolate cake that’s made with Chambord. The Chambord is a raspberry flavored liqueur, giving the cake a nice spiked raspberry flavor. It’s super easy to throw together too. The dry ingredients are combined and then the wet ingredients are added and everything is mixed together. Such a simple batter – you don’t even need a mixer. Don’t be surprised by a very thin batter – that’s exactly how it should be.
After the cake is baked, poke holes all over the cake and then cover it with a chocolate ganache that’s also spiked with Chambord. The more the better! So much flavor and so tasty!
The poke cake is refrigerated until nice and cold and then it’s time to add the raspberry whipped cream.
