Strawberry Jello Poke Cake is a delightful and colorful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, from summer picnics to birthday parties.
This cake is as fun to make as it is to eat, combining the moistness of a soft white or yellow cake base with the fruity burst of strawberry-flavored gelatin.
The "poke" in the name comes from the unique preparation method, where holes are poked into the baked cake, and liquid Jello is poured over it.
As the Jello sets, it seeps into the holes, creating vibrant red streaks and pockets of flavor throughout the cake.
The result is a visually stunning treat with a refreshing taste and a moist, tender texture that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 6 oz strawberry jello package
- 2 cups Cool Whip
Instructions:
Combine the eggs with sugar, whisking until the mixture is light and airy.
Using a spatula, fold in the flour in small portions to keep the mixture light and airy. Grease a 9in.x13in. baking dish and pour the batter in.
Bake the cake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Once the cake is ready, a toothpick should come out clean from the center. Let the sponge cake cool to room temperature and poke holes in it with the bottom of a wooden spoon 1/2-inch apart. Prepare the jello according to the package instructions
Once the jello fully cools to room temperature, pour the jello mixture over the cake and fill up all the holes. Frost the top of the cake with Cool Whip.
Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before serving. Enjoy!
