Notes:

• The yogurt you use can be plain or vanilla-flavored. They are both great.
• The 1/4 c. yogurt and 1/4 c flour is an egg replacement. If you would rather use the eggs, according to the cake mix instructions, don’t add the yogurt and flour. Either way, it’s amazing!

Poke cakes are old fashioned and unique. I love the way the filling goes down into the holes and permeates the whole cake elevating it to an exciting dessert. For more poke cake ideas, check these out:
