How to Make a Delicious Jello Poke Cake

June 17, 2013

 
How to make a jello poke cake
Making a jello poke cake is fairly simple and the results are rather colorful. You can make this in any color to coordinate with a child’s party, make it green and gold for St. Patrick’s Day, lavender for spring etc. So many options you cannot go wrong. the only cake mix I probably wouldn’t use is a chocolate or a chocolate recipe since the color would be hard to see. I’m sure adding this to my jello poke cake recipe file. 
 
Ingredients
1 box of your favorite white cake mix
2 packages of Jell-O, flavor of your choice
1 can of vanilla frosting

Directions
First, prepare the cake mix according to package directions.

While the cake is baking, mix the gelatin dessert according to package directions. For this cake, I used a package of peach and a package of strawberry. I thought the flavors would be a nice mix. Allow the gelatin to cool before proceeding to the next step. Allow the cake to cool a bit as well.

To make the holes, you need to poke the cake… it’s why it’s called poke cake!!  I used the larger end of a chopstick for making the holes. Space them about 1-2 inches apart.

Next, pour the gelatin mix on top of the cake. I used a measuring cup for ease of pouring. The jell-o will seep into the holes and around the sides. I found that I only needed about 3/4 of the gelatin mix so I chilled the remaining with some sliced peaches.

Place the cake into the fridge and chill for two hours to allow the gelatin to set.

Frost the poke cake as you see fit. I used a vanilla frosting with some blue food coloring and some blue sprinkles. Hint, hint, 4th of July cake anyone???
