To prepare a triple berry cheesecake poke cake recipe, first you need to prepare the ingredients for the cake. First, you'll need the following ingredients: 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup whipping cream 2 cups whipped cream Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and set aside. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, then add the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing just until combined. Bake the cakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're just set and the center springs back when you touch it. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
