This Mocha Poke Cake is rich, moist, chocolaty, and topped with a whipped coffee frosting.
For every family birthday, if the goods aren’t ordered from our favorite bakery, then they’re made by me. I like to personalize everyone’s cake or cupcakes to be something they’ll love. Last year I made my mom these Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cupcakes and I made my brother this Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cake, which everyone fought over. My dad is a huge chocolate and coffee guy and I wanted to make something that was easy and delicious! This Mocha Poke Cake was just the thing!

I’m a coffee lover too. I might have to print off the recipe and leave it out for someone to find, perhaps next to a calendar with my birthday circled. 🙂 Thanks for linking up at This Is How We Roll Thursday!
