This has been an uber stressful week!
It started off with cell phone issues. I got an alert on my phone that said
Your phone is corrupt and could be dangerous to use!
What does that mean? Is it going to blow up in my hand?? Are Ninjas going to jump out of the shadows at me? Holy crap!
I Googled what was going on and blah blah blah, long story short, my phone is a POS. There were several instances of this kind of thing happening with my brand of phone. Some people said you could do a factory reset.
NOPE
That didn't work. Warnings kept popping up and programs kept crashing.
I took it into my carrier and was told "We can't do anything about it here". They said that I needed to take it to a shop the next town over and drop it off. Then they would send me a new phone.....sometime in the next few days.
Next few days?
Raise your hand if your cell phone is the ONLY phone you have.
There is NO way I could be without a phone for a few days.
Sooooo we are changing carriers. New phones should be here tomorrow, send the old phones in, and bing bang book problem solved.
Although the constant crashing, programs disappearing, and screen lock ups may drive me completely batty before the new phones get here!
Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 16.25-ounce bag of white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese , softened
- 1/4 cup butter , softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons water or milk
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, milk, water, and butter. With an electric hand mixer, beat on low just until combined, then turn speed up to medium, and mix 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, stir together butter, brown sugar, condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake (I poked about 35 to 40). Allow cake to cool a bit.
- Pour filling mixture over warm cake, gently spreading with a spatula as necessary.
- Let cake cool completely.
- To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until combined.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk or water. Beat together until well-combined. Add additional milk or water to achieve desired consistency.
- Spread frosting over room temperature cake.
- Enjoy immediately, or chill until it is time to eat.

My hand is up. My cell phone is my only phone so not having it would be a big problem especially since I need it for work. Well at least when things were not working out you had an amazing cake for consolation

Sometimes electronics give the weirdest messages. The other day I tried to save something and my computer said I was not authorized to review - WHAT? my computer so if I am not authorized who is? And who is reviewing?
Sarah Bailey
OK if my phone told me that I probably would have freaked out a little I mean what?! I hope your week gets a little less stressful from here on in.
Terri Beavers
I can't remember the last time I had a scrumptious poke cake like this one looks and sounds. And cinnamon roll at that. I could probably eat this 3 times a day.
P.S. I'm raising my hand. My cell phone is the only phone I have.

I hate when a phone freaks out. I was in Orlando once, def. hours from home and my phone did a hard drive update. It had never done one before and I needed the GPS (which didn't come back up until long after I got home). Thankfully I had OnStar at the time to get me home! The cake looks good!
Holly
Yikes! I would freak if my phone done that and would totally switch carriers too. As for the recipe sounds AMAZING. Can't wait to try it.
AiringMyLaundry
I will be making this soon! I love anything that has to do with cinnamon rolls.
I'd be a little freaked out if I got that message on my cell phone. How odd!
MattieDog
That looks so great - and anything with a condensed cream in it has me at "hello!" Great recipe and we will try this over the weekend!
Masterbuilt

Jacqui Odell
I love cinnamon rules! Does this mean I can have cake for breakfast?
David Elliott
My daughter and I will definitely be making this cake. My daughter loves cinnamon rolls and it looks so amazing, fluffy, and delicious.
