Ingredients
- 16.25 ounces white cake mix
- 3 large eggs whites
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1.5 ounces blue jello mix, berry blast flavored half of a small box
- 1.5 ounces red jello mix, cherry flavored half of a small box
- 1 cup boiling water divided
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the cake according to the box directions. Add the water, vegetable oil, and egg whites to the mix and stir until combined.
- Bake for 28 to 33 minutes (or until donas instructed by the directions on the box. Let the cake cool completely.
- Once the cake is cooled completely, take a wooden spoon with a round handle and poke holes into the cake. Be generous with adding holes to the cake. Set the cake aside.
- Add the red jello mix to a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the red jello mix and stir until the granules are dissolved.
- Add the blue jello mix to a separate small bowl. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the blue jello mix and stir until the granules are dissolved.
- Carefully spoon jello mixtures into the holes alternating the colors, trying to only pour one color into each hole. If two colors get it one hole, you'll have a purple cake instead of a red white and blue poke cake.
- Place the cake in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the jello to soak in.
- Frost the cake with whipped topping or a sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle some festive sprinkles on top of the cake just before serving.
