Provided by รก-46561

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 ounces) white or french vanilla cake mix
+ eggs, oil and water called for on cake mix
1 (3 ounce) box strawberry, raspberry or cherry jello
1 (3 ounce) box lime jello
2 cups boiling water
1 (16 ounce) container whipped topping or Cool Whip frosting
Holiday sprinkles

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake cake according to package directions for a 2 layer round cake. Place cooled cake layers, top-sides up, in clean 8 or 9-inch round pans; pierce with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals. In separate bowls, add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor dry gelatin mix. Stir 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Slowly pour 3/4 of the red gelatin mixture over 1 cake round and 3/4 of the lime gelatin over second cake layer. When pouring the Jell-O over the cake layers it will look like the whole cake is saturated with color, but the gelatin mixture will only enter the holes that you made with the fork. Discard the remaining jello or save for another purpose. Frost cake layers with whipped topping or Cool Whip frosting. Add sprinkles. Refrigerate cake at least 1 hour before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chocolate cake mix, prepared and baked according to the directions on the box.
1 cup peppermint dairy creamer
14.5 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 jar Smuckers hot fudge sundae sauce
1/4 cup peppermint dairy creamer
1 cup crushed Oreos
8 ounces Cool Whip
Andes Peppermint Chips for topping (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
Crushed Oreos for topping (approximately 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Once the cake has cool, use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke 20+ holes in the cake. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of the peppermint dairy creamer. Pour over the cake, trying to fill in the holes. In the same bowl, whisk together the hot fudge sundae sauce and 1/4 cup peppermint dairy creamer. Mix in 1 cup crushed Oreos. Pour and spread the fudge mixture over the cake as evenly as possible. Spread the cool whip over the fudge. Sprinkle on the Andes candy bits and crushed Oreos (as much or as little as you want). Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, until the sweetened condensed mixture has soaked into the cake and it's thoroughly chilled. Cut and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sturdy cake mix as your base. This will help the cake hold up to the poking and soaking.
  • Don't over-bake the cake. A slightly under-baked cake will be more moist and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of liquids to soak the cake. This will add flavor and moisture.
  • Be generous with the frosting. A thick layer of frosting will help keep the cake moist and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of toppings to decorate the cake. This will make it look festive and appealing.

Conclusion:

Christmas poke cake is a fun and easy dessert that is perfect for any holiday gathering. With its moist and flavorful cake, creamy frosting, and festive decorations, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
