VINTAGE CHRISTMAS JELLO POKE CAKE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Vintage Christmas Jello Poke Cake Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-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.

Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan with a removable bottom for easy removal of the cake.
  • Poke the cake all over with a fork before adding the Jell-O mixture. This will help the Jell-O to soak into the cake and create a more even distribution of flavor.
  • Chill the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the Jell-O to set properly.
  • Garnish the cake with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chopped nuts before serving.
