Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake

Do you love Strawberry Shortcake? If yes, this recipe is for you! This is all the things you love, all wrapped up into one cake. 

I love, love recipes in the Summer that include strawberries! I don’t know what it is but it seems to scream Summer, fun, family and memories. We were celebrating my son, Ben’s, birthday, yesterday. I let them request certain dishes for their birthday dinner.

Ben actually asked for cheese enchiladas covered with steak (from me and his brother, Zac), Banana cinnamon rolls (from Cassie, and a Corn salad (from his sister, Jessica). It turned out so amazing!

You are probably wondering how this cake was part of this story, well, I have been trying to make it for weeks! With all the Summer celebrations, I just didn’t get around to it! So I decided I was going to make it just in case we didn’t have enough dessert! You never have enough dessert, right?

I was glad I did! It is so easy to make and boy is it so GOOD! I would recommend this recipe for any celebration you have planned or just an ordinary day that you need something yummy!
