  5. Store in refrigerator.

Notes

  • Do you have to refrigerate cake with sweetened condensed milk?
  • Yes, I recommend refrigerating this poke cake because of the sweetened condensed milk. First, once the cake absorbs the milk, it needs to set and chilling the cake helps with that. Second, sweetened condensed milk is not shelf-stable once it's been opened. For this cake, the condensed milk is not cooked since you pour it over the cake after it's baked, so it's better to keep leftover cake stored in the refrigerator.
  • Can I freeze poke cake?
  • Yes, you can freeze poke cake! I recommend freezing it without the toppings. Just wrap it tightly and keep it in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw it in the fridge before you frost and serve it.
  • Make Ahead Directions
  • If you want to prepare this ahead of time we recommend adding the whipped topping and other toppings right before serving. Make sure you store it in the refrigerator until you serve it.
