chocolate peanut butter poke cake is a type of cake made with a chocolate cake mix, filled with a mixture of peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk, and topped with chocolate ganache or whipped cream. The cake is typically made by baking a chocolate cake, then poking holes in it with a fork or toothpick, and pouring a mixture of peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk over the top. The cake is then chilled before being topped with chocolate ganache or whipped cream. It is a delicious and decadent dessert that combines the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter.
