A festive poke cake decorated in red, white, and blue, perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 white cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box (1 cup water, ½ cup oil, 3 eggs)
- 1 3 oz package red jello
- 1 3 oz package blue jello
- 2 cups boiling water divided
- 1 cup cold water divided
- 1 8 oz tub whipped topping thawed
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Bake your cake according to the package directions and let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon poke holes over the entire cake. They should be about ½ – ¾ the depth of the cake, just don’t poke all the way through.
- In a small bowl or large measuring cup dissolve red jello in 1 cup of boiling water. When jello powder is dissolved stir in ½ cup cold water.
- In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup dissolve the blue jello in 1 cup of boiling water. When the jello powder is dissolved stir in ½ cup cold water.
- Carefully pour the red and blue jello into alternating holes in the cake. Be careful not to mix them or you will end up with a purple cake.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- In a medium bowl whisk together whipped topping and powdered sugar.
- Spread whipped topping over the cake and top with sprinkles.
Notes
- For best results, use both jello flavors that are sugar-free if desired.
- Can be prepared a day in advance for easier serving.
- Feel free to adjust the amount and type of sprinkles used for decoration.
