One of the best poke cakes that I have ever made at home is this Oreo chocolate poke cake by Body and Soul. If you are a fan of Oreos, you should definitely try this at home. Everyone in my family loved this cake, even the kids. It only took a couple of minutes before it was gone. I also made it for a gathering and everyone kept on asking me for the recipe!

Bake the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Once done, let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes throughout the cake.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk all over the cake filling the holes.
In a mixing bowl, add the dry pudding and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk them together to combine. Stir in some of the whipped topping (save some for later).
Place 10 Oreos in a zip lock bag and seal it. Using a rolling pin, crush the Oreos. Stir into the whipped topping mixture.
Evenly spread the pudding mixture over the cake.
Add the remaining whipped topping to a piping bag or plastic bag with the corner tipped off, and squeze on top of the cake. Crush the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle on top. Place in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. Enjoy!
