Description

This Cereal Milk Poke Cake is a nostalgic dessert that captures the beloved flavor of leftover milk after eating your favorite cereal. A moist yellow cake is baked, then poked with holes and soaked in a sweetened cereal-infused milk mixture. Topped with fluffy whipped cream and crunchy cereal, this cake delivers a unique texture and irresistible taste perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)

Cereal Milk Mixture

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups cereal of choice (e.g., Fruity Pebbles, Frosted Flakes, Cornflakes)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Topping

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping or homemade whipped cream
  • 1 cup additional cereal for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box, pour it into a 9×13-inch pan, and bake until done. Allow the cake to cool slightly before proceeding.
  2. Infuse Milk with Cereal Flavor: While the cake is baking, steep 2 cups of your chosen cereal in 2 cups of whole milk for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors infuse. After steeping, strain out the soggy cereal, reserving the flavored milk.
  3. Poke the Cake: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the surface of the cooled cake. These holes will allow the cereal milk mixture to soak in deeply.
  4. Soak with Cereal Milk Mixture: Combine the cereal-infused milk with the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into all the holes. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to let it absorb the flavors fully.
  5. Add Whipped Topping and Garnish: Spread the whipped topping or homemade whipped cream evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle 1 cup of additional cereal over the top for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use your favorite cereal to customize the flavor of the cereal milk; Fruity Pebbles or Frosted Flakes work wonderfully.
  • For best texture, chill the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow full absorption.
  • Homemade whipped cream can be used for fresher taste and control over sweetness.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator; best eaten within 3 days.
