Strawberry Jello Poke Cake
Description
The Strawberry Jello Poke Cake uses a prepared white cake mix baked as directed on the box. Once baked, the cake is poked with the handle end of a wooden spoon to create holes that allow the strawberry gelatin mixture to soak in. The gelatin, dissolved in boiling and cold water, is poured over the cake to infuse it with a bright strawberry flavor and keep it moist. The cake is chilled in the refrigerator for several hours to let the gelatin set truly.
After chilling, a smooth vanilla pudding is prepared from instant sugar-free mix and milk, allowed to soften before being spread evenly over the cake. The final layer is whipped topping, creating a cool, creamy finish that balances the fruity gelatin-infused cake below. The dessert is served chilled.
This method results in a moist, flavorful cake with complementary textures: soft cake, slightly firm gelatin, creamy pudding, and fluffy topping, making it a refreshing treat for gatherings or after meals.

- .3 ounce strawberry gelatin dessert 1 box, sugar free

Instructions

- Prepare Jell-O with 1 c. boiling water and 1/2 c. cold water. Mix together until jello mix is dissolved. Pour over the cake. This will seem like a lot of liquid but the cake will absorb it and it won’t become mush.
