Wow, I've never heard of Poke Cake before, despite growing up in Florida and Georgia with grandparents in two parts of Alabama! Looks interesting for sure!
Just a hint for those who might not like the texture of the almond flour cakes and breads: let the batter rest, without the bkg pdr, for at least 4 hrs so the "flour" hydrates. The reason is that it's NOT true flour. It's crushed nuts really, and the pieces need to get softer so they can be better blended with all the other ingredients during the baking. I often bake with nut "flours" but no one can tell because I let them soak in either the recipe water or the nut milk before I add the rest of the wet ings. If it wasn't for the non-sugar sweeteners, my son and his friends couldn't tell the difference between these and regular flour.
For anyone trying to avoid aspartame...Make your own strawberry jello... Super easy... Strawberry koolaid packet, sweetener of choice, gelatin, water. I guess it still has the red food dye but at least you can choose your sweetener.
When I make regular Jello cake I freeze the cake then pour the hot jello in. It goes into the holes easily but since its froze it don't make the cake soggy because the Jello sets faster.
Wes, I have to say that I watch a lot of RUclipsrs do their taste tests, and it is invariably my least favorite part of their videos-and I always ask them (though they can’t hear me), “Why the heck would I want to watch you taste something?” Not so for you-I love to watch you try your creations. I’ve been watching you a long time, and when you get “the look” that says “this is awesome,” I’m right there with you! :)
Oh my goodness, so I stopped doing keto about two years ago, maybe more and I have gained more way in the last two years than I ever have in my life. I have been so miserable, so I’m jumping back on the keto wagon. But I used to watch your videos all the time, and I just have to tell you… You look amazing!!!! I thought you looked great several years ago, but when I saw you again, I barely recognized you. I knew your sweet, southern accent. If you didn’t have a husband and you were straight, I’d be hunting you down… Just kidding, I’m not a stalker. But you do look amazing honey. I’m so proud of you.

🥰 Yes!!! I love Carolyn's, Coconut Cream Poke Cake! I drooled watching you taste it 🤣. I've also made her cinnamon roll poke cake that I love as well. She has four other poke cakes, on her blog, that I haven't made yet. Great video, Thank you, Wes 😊
I'm a HUGE fan of All Day I Dream About Food's peanut butter poke cake. I've made it a few times and it's a personal top 3 and a huge hit when I share it with my friends.
I am glad you're back. I haven't seen you in awhile. I used to binge watch as I fell asleep. I had dreams where you were talking to me but ignoring my questions.😆
When I tell you to make this, IM SCREAMING MAKE THE COCONUT ONE. WOW. im eating it while typing this out and I can't get enough of this cake, it's the best dessert I've ever had, let alone low carb! OUTTA THE PARK BRAVO!
We don’t have poke cake in Australia but I’m sure going to try it - I don’t see why I can’t have jelly and custard in the one cake put half the holes in, fill, set and do the other half, - trifle cake - yay.
LOL! LITERALLY!! Loved you taking the coconut poke cake off camera saying, “I’ll be right back…”😂🍰 I’m a new follower and I have enjoyed every single video of yours I’ve watched. ❤ I’m currently in the middle of a 72 hr sardine fast, but you can bet a 20 dollar gold piece that I’ll be trying many of the recipes that have been winners!
Oh gosh. This takes me back to my teenage baking adventures. I was so fancy with my poke cakes! Also. No self respecting southerner would cut more than 16 servings from a 9x13 pan lol. Great video, as always ❤️
For those interested, Amazon carries a supposed keto sugar-free jell-o under the Simply Delish brand. It's sweetened with erythritol and colored with beet (this is the only no-no). It's also plant based (not gelatin, which is animal based). The only other questionable ingredient is carrageenan.
Yayyyy!!! I missed this one! I LOVE poke cake! I can't wait to make these and maybe sub some bamboo fiber for lightness and crumb texture. 🎉❤ Thanks Wes! ❤
Wes you are looking great! I've been a fan for years but haven't seen your videos recently do to falling off the keto wagon and therefore not needing low carb/keto recipes. It made me happy to see you doing so well! P.S. Your country gravy recipe is a keto staple in my house!
Lol I love that the truth is all over your face always. No hiding if something is crap or amazing. Also bless you for testing these for us, directing traffic to the originators, and for the love of cheese thank you for scraping the bowl free of all the dang cake batter and other stuff! 🎉🎉🎉
Wes I love your videos and the effort and integrity you put into your recipe replications. And the honesty of your reviews is great. I’ve got a couple recipes I’d love to get your take on as you clearly have an expertise in this area and I want to know how to work to improve them. I know you’re probably crazy busy, but if you have time I’d love to see what you think sometime. Keep it up my friend! 😊😊😊
👋🏾Hello from the Panhandle Wes! I loved your reaction after that second taste test. I swear you were about to give a praise! 🙌🏾 Saving this recipe to faves because WHO doesn't want a taste of childhood?! 😊
Good night. I think I gained 10 pounds just watching you make those cakes! Gosh I haven't had a poke cake in forever. Thank you wes for sharing and your sacrifice for us. 😁
I love poke cakes and these recipes are fantastic. Love all of Carolyn's recipes. Cant wait to try them both. After all its summer and who doesn't love a good poke cake.
I used to make strawberry Jello poke cake when I was a kid. The icing was Dream Whip + instant pudding. If I made it now, even Keto, I would eat the whole thing 😂
Love your comparison videos and appreciate all the work you put into them. I think it would be helpful if you cut a slice that actually represents the calorie count per serving. It is hard to imagine what an accurate small piece looks like. The large slices look pretty but may not be worth the bigger amount of calories no matter how good. I do low carb but find I can’t ignore calories particularly when it comes to desserts which are easy to overeat just like their sugar/flour counterparts. Thanks again for all your helpful content.
@@sherryrethwisch9589 Why? Carolyn was just being funny. Maybe you don't watch her videos. But she really is good, has excellent recipes, and she is just funny. She says things like that and does happy dances, too.
To get 30 servings out of a 9x13" pan, you need to make the slices approximately 2x2". Roughly the size of a brownie (although I make my brownies 1x1" and get 16 servings from an 8" pan).
Can I just say, you make me smile. You make me feel like I can do this. Like I can leave a sugar addiction behind and make low carb sustainable for my lifetime. So, thanks!
I love your videos and the cakes look delicious, you make me smile the way you react to the taste testing, well done, your a great cook and a big thank you to the creators of these cakes, I also love that Southern drawl of yours. ❤😎 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲
I love that drawl too! Being g a southerner living in Florida, i get asked all the time where I'm from. Listening to Wes sounds like home to me. Seeing him speechless was enough to convince me to try these!
Perfect timing, Wes! My church is having a potluck this Sunday, and I have almost all of the ingredients already for the Jello poke cake. Thanks so much! Hugs, Kim
I just shared with my mom because while my mom and step dad aren't keto like I am they are trying to be low carb for medical reasons same as me and won't give up sweets any more than I will. Though I usually get my sweet kick from teas, fruit, sweet veg, and yogurt bowls/smoothies. I do like my occasional dessert like these as a treat. That said, recipes like this I think would help my mom and step dad transition from standard diet since they are more stubborn creatures of habit than I am. I love ur food battles and reviews. It gives me ideas sometimes to try for myself as well as ways to hopefully help my parents improve their own health
They're both beautiful! I love poke cakes. I've been making mine with the King Arthur Keto cake mixes and they turn out fantastic every time. I will try both of these too so I can use up some ingredients I have in the pantry.
I’m trying to help my dad who’s 86 not to eat so much sugar and I think doing a strawberry poke cake with this recipe would be amazing and he’d never even know he wasn’t getting all that sugar. Thank you so much for showing us this.
I never had coconut cream pie until college dorm days!! Dont think I've had it since!! Most definitely have to try Carolyn's recipe, as well as coconut poke cake!! Tyfs!!
Looks absolutely awesome but more importantly, you said both were out of the park! So I am standing here with my mitt on waiting to catch my piece!!! Okay…I guess I have to make my own! Thank you, Wes!
you did cut a bigger serving size cake on the poke cake so the carbs count change. but I look at your size and calculate it's about 6 to 7 net carbs per serving. not the 2.6
The only concerning thing about the poke cake is Jello contains maltodextrin, which is made from corn, wheat, rice or potato starch and has a very high glycemic index. It's can easily spike your glucose and throw you out of ketosis, if you are aiming for weightloss.
Make your own strawberry (or whatever flavor trips your trigger) jello - it's do-able from fresh or frozen fruit, OR freeze dried fruit powder and gelatin
The word poke (to make holes or indentations) and the word poke (Hawaiian word pronounced po-kay) should really have some sort of better distinguishing characteristics. I saw poke cake and thought eeeuuu, fish with whipped cream?
Thanks, Wes! Both of these look delicious - the strawberry for that childhood delight and memory and the coconut for its elegance. I'd actually rather make the coconut one, but I bought the jello to make a strawberry refrigerator pie with and then got lazy and just shared the strawberries and whipped cream with my dog. So, the strawberry poke cake it is! Summer has arrived courtesy of Wes and Highfalutin' Low Carb! ❤
I want to make all of your baked goodies, and love watching all of your videos so much!! But erythritol freezes my mouth (And for some crazy reason makes me really tired the next day after eating it, the white or brown sugar options, and all blends with it in it) Do you, or anyone on here, have any other options that measure the same or might work for me? I neeeed sweets sooo bad 😭 *Or will this cook up the same if I just leave out the sweetener? And then maybe I can just sprinkle a little of my go to on afterwards?
Wow! I just watched your pecan pie video and then jumped to this one. You look great congrats! I lost about 60-70 pounds within the last year myself! Cutting out sugar for sure was great for me!
I’ve been out all day running errands in this unbelievable heat Such a treat to finally sit and watch your newest video I just happen to have some ripe juicy strawberries on hand and I will make the strawberry poke cake tomorrow Looking all cute like always
This is my second time to make Caroline’s coconut poke cake. It’s in the refrigerator now. Watch in your face on the taste test is very much like mine. Crack me up you had to walk away from the camera. I got the recipe for the cream cheese almond cake and will make it next ! Thank you for the comparisons
I wonder if there is an alternative to the sugar free jello that doesn't contain aspartame? My biggest issue with aspartame, sucralose, etc. is what they do to your gut biome. Erythritol, allulose, monkfruit are natural sweeteners and from things found in nature. Aspartame and sucralose are totally artificial and are from accidents resulting from attempts to make insecticides or fertilizers or other things that were not for human consumption. Great video. Always nice to see one of your video alerts pop up on my table. 😊
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I've never have any luck with anything involving gelatin that isn't commercially packaged like Jello. 😂 I can make keto pudding but a jello sub, yeah, no. 🙄
Whats the name of that little whisk thingy? And you didnt tell us the ingredient amounts! LOL you crack me up. The ONLY thing that would have made this better is if you would have used your “dirty” purple baking dish 😂😂😂❤️ keep up the great work!!!

Do you poke the holes in before you freeze it or take it out from the freezer and then poke holes? Thanks so much for the tip!
Wes, I have to say that I watch a lot of RUclipsrs do their taste tests, and it is invariably my least favorite part of their videos-and I always ask them (though they can’t hear me), “Why the heck would I want to watch you taste something?” Not so for you-I love to watch you try your creations.

I agree. I get so tickled and I’m smiling when he gets so into the tastings!
Also it really saves us all trying several recipes I know that if Wes approves them that is one more spending the money for the ingredients for❤
I always add gelatin to whip cream to stablize it when using it on cake that is not going to be eaten all at once 😊 23:34

I'm thinking we could use that coconut cream poke cake recipe and turn it into a tres leches cake!
What milks would u use? Sweetened condensed milk is usually used...definitely not keto
For those interested, Amazon carries a supposed keto sugar-free jell-o under the Simply Delish brand. It's sweetened with erythritol and colored with beet (this is the only no-no). It's also plant based (not gelatin, which is animal based). The only other questionable ingredient is carrageenan.
I wonder how jello can be plant based (since I finally learned where gelatin comes from)
@carolferguson I just went & looked up where gelatin comes from/how it's made 🤢 I had no clue! Needless to say, I won't be having Jello anymore! 😩
Yayyyy!!! I missed this one! I LOVE poke cake! I can't wait to make these and maybe sub some bamboo fiber for lightness and crumb texture. 🎉❤ Thanks Wes! ❤
I made Carolyn’s coconut cake it was out of this world best keto dessert I’ve made

I love poke cakes and these recipes are fantastic. Love all of Carolyn's recipes. Cant wait to try them both. After all its summer and who doesn't love a good poke cake.
Glad you posted this. I haven't seen many posts from you lately. Was worried about you.
I used to make strawberry Jello poke cake when I was a kid. The icing was Dream Whip + instant pudding. If I made it now, even Keto, I would eat the whole thing 😂

I LOVE your channel! I can see your keto success too - that gives me inspiration to stick with this way of eating. . . THANK YOU❣️
I love Carolyn's recipes. She's good. Really good. "Do you like poking things?"😂😂
Truly off color humor and needs to be taken down
@@sherryrethwisch9589 Why? Carolyn was just being funny. Maybe you don't watch her videos. But she really is good, has excellent recipes, and she is just funny. She says things like that and does happy dances, too.
@@sherryrethwisch9589Prude
I just love your reactions when you taste something good! Thanks for sharing.
To get 30 servings out of a 9x13" pan, you need to make the slices approximately 2x2". Roughly the size of a brownie (although I make my brownies 1x1" and get 16 servings from an 8" pan).
Can I just say, you make me smile. You make me feel like I can do this. Like I can leave a sugar addiction behind and make low carb sustainable for my lifetime. So, thanks!
Tastes like childhood!!!! LOVED that. So want both if these right now. Yum. Thanks again for all you do. Your reaction for these said it ALL.

These serving sizes are the reason why keto friendly treats are for VERY special occasions.

That said, recipes like this I think would help my mom and step dad transition from standard diet since they are more stubborn creatures of habit than I am. I love ur food battles and reviews. It gives me ideas sometimes to try for myself as well as ways to hopefully help my parents improve their own health
*The combination of flavors and textures is making my mouth water. Can't wait to try this recipe out!*
It's so good! :-)
They're both beautiful! I love poke cakes. I've been making mine with the King Arthur Keto cake mixes and they turn out fantastic every time. I will try both of these too so I can use up some ingredients I have in the pantry.
I made the coconut poke cake and we loved it! It was even better the next day. We ate the whole thing.
Wesley,when I need a cheery pick me up, I can always count on you, kid you crack me up tasting these...LOLOLOL
I’m trying to help my dad who’s 86 not to eat so much sugar and I think doing a strawberry poke cake with this recipe would be amazing and he’d never even know he wasn’t getting all that sugar. Thank you so much for showing us this.
I never had coconut cream pie until college dorm days!! Dont think I've had it since!! Most definitely have to try Carolyn's recipe, as well as coconut poke cake!! Tyfs!!
Looks absolutely awesome but more importantly, you said both were out of the park! So I am standing here with my mitt on waiting to catch my piece!!! Okay…I guess I have to make my own! Thank you, Wes!
My mother in law makes the strawberry one, but traditional. My wife loves it. You just made my wife one very happy lady!
Wonderful! Come back and let us know if she approves! :-)
thank you so much---I was so hopeful of the coconut one and I am going to make one today.
I had a friend that used thrive market!! She got some stuff for me couple times as well!! I definitely need to try them sometime.
you did cut a bigger serving size cake on the poke cake so the carbs count change. but I look at your size and calculate it's about 6 to 7 net carbs per serving. not the 2.6
The only concerning thing about the poke cake is Jello contains maltodextrin, which is made from corn, wheat, rice or potato starch and has a very high glycemic index. It's can easily spike your glucose and throw you out of ketosis, if you are aiming for weightloss.
That’s why he mentioned the ingredients and said don’t make it if it bothers you.
Make your own strawberry (or whatever flavor trips your trigger) jello - it's do-able from fresh or frozen fruit, OR freeze dried fruit powder and gelatin
The sugar free Jello I buy in Canada is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame-potassium (declared safe by the USDA) is 0 carb.
@@tericoulter4426 that's even worse!
OH MY GOODNESS those look so good, considering one of those for my bday next month but maybe in cupcake form..
The word poke (to make holes or indentations) and the word poke (Hawaiian word pronounced po-kay) should really have some sort of better distinguishing characteristics. I saw poke cake and thought eeeuuu, fish with whipped cream?
You could make hibiscus tea jello then you’ll get flavor and color
I just discovered your channel…you are fabulous…I am binge watching your videos …love your personality!
Yay! Thank you! Welcome aboard, Rhonda!
I love Carolyns recipes. It was you that lead me to her channel ❤
Thanks, Wes! Both of these look delicious - the strawberry for that childhood delight and memory and the coconut for its elegance. I'd actually rather make the coconut one, but I bought the jello to make a strawberry refrigerator pie with and then got lazy and just shared the strawberries and whipped cream with my dog. So, the strawberry poke cake it is! Summer has arrived courtesy of Wes and Highfalutin' Low Carb! ❤
Thanks, Lucinda! Sounds like your doggo appreciated your decision as well! 🙃🐶
Would it be possible to heat real strawberries with swerve or allulose then add unflavored gelatin for the berry poke cake vs the asparatane?
I am sure the creators of most of the recipes you feature are very happy with you.
Lol... thought you were going to say, "Shut the front door" after tasting
Hi i,m from Puerto Rico and love your videos. Thank You😊
I want to make all of your baked goodies, and love watching all of your videos so much!! But erythritol freezes my mouth (And for some crazy reason makes me really tired the next day after eating it, the white or brown sugar options, and all blends with it in it) Do you, or anyone on here, have any other options that measure the same or might work for me? I neeeed sweets sooo bad 😭
*Or will this cook up the same if I just leave out the sweetener? And then maybe I can just sprinkle a little of my go to on afterwards?
My mom always made chocolate cake with strawberry jello. I'm going to try this recipe.
Wow! I just watched your pecan pie video and then jumped to this one. You look great congrats! I lost about 60-70 pounds within the last year myself! Cutting out sugar for sure was great for me!
Can’t wait to make both of these. Thank you so much for all that you do❤️
I’ve been out all day running errands in this unbelievable heat
Such a treat to finally sit and watch your newest video
I just happen to have some ripe juicy strawberries on hand and I will make the strawberry poke cake tomorrow
Looking all cute like always
I would love to know how the topping on the second cake turned out w/ the added cream cheese.
Carolyn’s cake looks awesome and definite try!
It is SO incredibly good!!
💜🥰🤩😘
I love Caroline's recipes❣
I'm a Thrive Market customer because of Wes !! I love their spices alot !!
I can always tell by the expression on your face if it's good or not. Love it ❤
I live alone so I probably will not make these but they do look delicious and I know if I ate one I would love it. 😍
What a hunk! Looking great, just came back to watch you.
Awesome ima make keto ducan Hines coconut poke cake with unsweetened flakes and zero sugar whip cream 😋
This is my second time to make Caroline’s coconut poke cake. It’s in the refrigerator now.
Watch in your face on the taste test is very much like mine. Crack me up you had to walk away from the camera.
I got the recipe for the cream cheese almond cake and will make it next !
Thank you for the comparisons
Your reactions are so honest
I wonder if there is an alternative to the sugar free jello that doesn't contain aspartame? My biggest issue with aspartame, sucralose, etc. is what they do to your gut biome. Erythritol, allulose, monkfruit are natural sweeteners and from things found in nature. Aspartame and sucralose are totally artificial and are from accidents resulting from attempts to make insecticides or fertilizers or other things that were not for human consumption. Great video. Always nice to see one of your video alerts pop up on my table. 😊
I cover this a bit in the video. :-)
You can use a clear gelatin like Knox and some kind of fruit juice
Just don't eat it often and you will survive
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I've never have any luck with anything involving gelatin that isn't commercially packaged like Jello. 😂 I can make keto pudding but a jello sub, yeah, no. 🙄
Amazon carries a supposed keto sugar-free jell-o under the Simply Delish brand. It's sweetened with erythritol.
Coconut cream sounds good not crazy about strawberry jello artificial flavor maybe raspberry?
I think almost any flavored jello would work well. Lemon or raspberry, especially!
I was so confused for a sec... thought this was tuna Poke cake!😂😂😂
I’m making one with both the jello and cream poke 😊
Thanks Wes, they both are oh my short list🍰
I think it's the first time in your videos that you take a second bite at the 'creations'. need to say more? I think not 😂
Whats the name of that little whisk thingy? And you didnt tell us the ingredient amounts! LOL you crack me up. The ONLY thing that would have made this better is if you would have used your “dirty” purple baking dish 😂😂😂❤️ keep up the great work!!!
Oh! I will be making both of these this summer. They both look so deeeeelicious!!!!
when you make your cakes you can spread more into the corners
Thank you! I've missed the poke cake since I moved from AL. I forgot all about it.
Thank you! Can’t wait to try these!
🌞🍓🥥🌞
You can’t go wrong with any of Carolyn’s recipes 😊 @alldayidreamaboutfood
Gramzero gelatin mix is sweetened with Stevie.
What brand of stainless sauce pan are you using, Wes? I’ve looked everywhere for pans without a separate disk on the bottom?
