CINNAMON ROLL POKE CAKE – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you are a fan of poke cakes, then you must give this one a try! It’s a hit and we love it!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love cinnamon rolls and we also love easy recipes and this one checks both of those boxes. It is moist and delicious and so easy to make. It starts with a cake mix but the end result is wonderful. This is the perfect dessert and would be great to add to any brunch too.

SWAPS

We recently remade this and used a Vanilla cake mix and it was excellent. You can use either one, or a white one. If you want a shortcut cut you can always buy the frosting in a can to save you some time.

CAN I USE EVAPORATED MILK?

No you can’t use evaporated milk to pour over the cake. You need sweetened condensed milk. There is a difference between the two. Learn more all about that here.
