Are you familiar with Snapchat?  I’m not on it, but my daughters have been on it for a long time.  If you’ve ever seen a young person taking a silly selfie then start typing on their phone, chances are they are snapchatting. Snapchat is a messaging app. You can take a photo or a video, add a caption or doodle, and send it to a friend or add it to your Story to share with some or all of your friends. Friends can view Snaps for up to 10 seconds, and then it disappears.

Well, apparently big brands are getting on the Snapchat bandwagon, and that’s where this Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake recipe came from!  I know right?  I might have to reconsider snapchat.  I’ve heard a lot of bloggers are using snapchat stories to promote their blogs.  A Snap Story-  is created by you, by taking photos/videos in a timeline and uploading them stitched up together in sequence. Your Story can be viewed by your friends + random “followers” for a period of 24 hours.

So Allison saw this mind-blowing recipe for a Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake on Cosmopolitan’s snapchat story a few weeks ago, and I think she ran to the store that day to pick up the few things we needed to make it.  Ummmmm, hello! There are recipes on snapchat?  I might have to check it out.

Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake a la Mode

I mean look at this! I couldn’t help but digging into this when I was photographing it..seriously too good.  The cake is two ingredients!! a boxed spice cake mix and a can of cream soda.  You mix it up and bake it.

After the cake cools, grab a wooden spoon and poke holes all over the top of the cake and pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the whole cake, especially in the holes.  and that’s IT!!!  Crazy simple right?

Cosmo said you could make a frosting for the cake or serve with ice cream, we decided to go with the ice cream and caramel syrup.  Good decision!

The cake has a bit of a spongy texture to it, and if you top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel syrup and let it sit about 10 mins, letting the ice cream melt into the cake a little….OH.MY.HEAVEN!!! You will have a dessert that tastes like the most delectable cinnamon roll filling that ever lived!  This cake just might be in my top 5 favorite desserts we’ve ever made.
