Those of you with an interest in Pinterest might have come across these already, but just in case you haven't: poke cakes are here, and they are about to change your life.
What is a poke cake, we hear you ask?
Well, true to its name, a poke cake is simply a cake that you poke holes in after baking. An action that might seem a little weird until you realise that you get the fill the little holes with all sorts of amazing things. Like alcohol, for instance.
Meaning, essentially, that you are infusing that sponge with flavours of Baileys, Kahlua, Bourbon or even gin.
Here's our pick of the best:
