Creamy Cannoli Poke Cake

I first spotted the recipe for this delicious cake at Life, Love and Sugar, and decided to give it a try with a simple modification, and I was amazed by the results. I promise you that this cake does not disappoint!  With a cake layer drenched in sweetened condensed milk and a topping reminiscent of sweet cannoli filling, you really can’t go wrong with this Cannoli Poke Cake!

If you like a Cannoli, you'll love this recipe for a Cannoli Poke Cake at Sparkles of Sunshine.The first time I ever tasted a cannoli was on a wedding anniversary. My husband and I decided we’d stay in for the night, so we ordered a pizza from a local Italian restaurant. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, I requested they add a cannoli to our order so we could have dessert. Imagine my surprise when we opened up the box and found an order of cannelloni instead of cannoli. It was disappointing at first, but after a phone call and quick trip back to the restaurant, we soon had a wonderful dessert to share, and cannelloni to eat for lunch the next day!
