This strawberry poke cake is SO easy! It starts out with a white cake mix.

Then the cake is flavored with strawberries and CHEESECAKE flavored pudding (Ah-mazing!). No one will ever guess this moist flavorful strawberry poke cake started out with a box mix!

It’s red color would make it a perfect Valentine’s Day or Christmas dessert. It has to set up in the fridge for an hour or so, so it’s a cinch to make ahead!
