Carrot Cake Poke Cake

If you are looking for new and fun Easter ideas to try this spring, this easy dessert recipe for Carrot Cake Poke Cake is the best Easter treat that you can make for your family. Filled with white chocolate pudding and topped with cream cheese frosting this super moist carrot cake is over the top!

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is classic Easter dessert. But you can make a fun twist this year and turn it into amazing, perfectly moist, homemade poke cake filled with white chocolate pudding.

Almost every recipe I found on the internet uses box cake mix and caned cream cheese frosting for poke cakes.  They all sounds super simple to make, but I prefer real homemade cakes from scratch, with this magic custard cake as one of my favorites to make (and taste!). Especially when it comes to a holidays and family gatherings such as Easter dinner or brunch.

Although I baked dozens of cakes with many different flavors, I do not have too much experience with carrot cakes. To tell the truth, I’m not a huge fun of carrots so I refused to try any kind of carrot treats for years. I always imagined that carrot tastes much in the cake and it seems yuck to me.
