Best Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake

Our church has two potluck’s every month. We look forward to the fellowship on those days! One of those two potluck’s always has a theme. I made this Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake for the breakfast themed potluck!

Poke cakes have always been a tried and true go-to dessert for me. They check all the boxes – easy to make, travel nicely, endless variations, fail proof, can make them ahead of time, and most importantly they taste amazing!
