JELL-O® POKE CAKE



Jell-O® Poke Cake image

An old Southern recipe passed down through my grandmother. You can vary the flavor of gelatin used in order to get a specific color for any holiday, e.g. lime for St. Patrick's day. You can top this cake with berries, sprinkles, or any topping of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cake mix. Any cake mix can be used, but a white cake mix or a yellow cake mix will give you the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. If the cake is baked at a higher temperature, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Jello cake can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, fruit, or candy. Get creative and have fun with it!

Conclusion:

Jello cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a beautiful and festive cake that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy dessert, give Jello cake a try.
