Here is a a calorie, diabetic friendly version that I make. So easy and simple. No one can tell the difference from a full fat, full sugar version. 1 pkg. (1.0 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding 1-1/2 cups cold fat-free milk, 1 cup thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping, divided. 1 prepared round angel food cake (10 oz.), cut horizontally into 3 layers, 1 square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, , chopped. BEAT pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in 1/2 cup COOL WHIP. STACK cake layers on serving plate, spreading pudding mixture between layers. MICROWAVE chocolate and remaining COOL WHIP in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 sec.; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Spoon over cake. Refrigerate 1 hour, or up until 4 hours, removing from refrigerator 30 min. before serving.

I think this is an extremely poor recipe. 8 ounces of cake mix? Like one cup? You would end up with two pancake layers of 8 inch cake. As others have said, where is the poke? Directions are poor. You might as well take it off the site.

For the glaze it does not say what to do with the margarine and cocoa, do you soften the margarine and then add the cocoa, or mix them together first?

This doesn't sound like a "poke" cake to me either. Maybe you can poke holes in the bottom layer before spreading the filling?

I was wondering when you "poke" the cake. This sounds like a regular Boston Creme Pie?
