Cherry Chocolate Chip Poke Cake Recipe
Poke cakes are really neat – you literally poke into your cake after baking in order to drizzle some more delicious ingredients into the middle of the cake. This makes it extremely moist, flavorful, and unique. In this tasty recipe, you’ll be adding sweetened condensed milk, one of my absolute favorite sweet ingredients. If your mom loves chocolate covered cherries, this cake is for her!

Fall is my favorite time of the year because my family goes apple picking and we have such an abundance of apples that I’m more apt to try to make things I never think to try the rest of the year. While it isn’t fall now, the great news is that fresh, delicious apples remain available. Perfect for your apple-lovin’ mamas like me, this upside-down cake will be a huge hit!
