Tips and Tricks On How To Make Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake
- Mixing the Filling: Make sure the filling mixture is well combined to avoid any lumps of brown sugar or cinnamon.
- Chilling Time: For best results, let the cake chill overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Frosting: If you're short on time, store-bought cream cheese frosting works perfectly. However, homemade frosting can add a special touch.
Subsitutions and Storage
- Cake Mix: Feel free to use a yellow or spice cake mix instead of white for a different flavor profile. You can also use a homemade cake.
- Frosting: Swap cream cheese frosting with vanilla or buttercream frosting if you like. Or you could try a simple powdered sugar glaze.
- Leftovers: Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
