Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Triple Berry Cheesecake Poke Cake Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly spraying it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper for effortless cake removal.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend together the cake mix, 1 cup of water, eggs, and vegetable oil.
Step 4
Start mixing on low speed for 30 seconds, then elevate to medium speed and continue mixing for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the cake turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once baked, let the cake cool at room temperature for 10 minutes while keeping the oven warm.
Step 8
Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 10
Spread this crumbly goodness evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 11
After baking, allow it to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Step 12
Next, in a saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, sugar, 1/3 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Step 13
Bring this fruity mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and can be easily mashed, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 14
Use a fork to mash the berries together and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 15
Now, take the cooled cake and, using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke 30 holes in it, creating 5 rows of 6 holes each.
Step 16
Drizzle 1/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
Step 17
Pour the berry mixture over the cake, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure it seeps into the holes.
Step 18
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Step 19
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on high until it’s luxuriously smooth, about 3 minutes.
Step 20
Add the remaining sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt, mixing for 1 minute until everything is well blended.
Step 21
Spread this creamy mixture generously over the chilled cake.
Step 22
Cover and let it chill for 3 hours, or overnight for the best flavor infusion.
Step 23
When it’s time to indulge, slice the cake into 12 generous pieces and crown each slice with the graham cracker crumb mixture for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 24
Enjoy this delightful dessert that’s sure to impress!.
