Instructions
How to Make Strawberry Jello Poke Cake
- Preheat your oven as directed on the cake mix box and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden brown, typically around 25-30 minutes. Once done, remove the cake and let it cool for 30 minutes.
- Grab a wooden spoon and use the back to gently poke holes all over the cooled cake. This step is crucial, as it allows the jello mixture to permeate the cake, creating a deliciously moist treat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until the jello is completely dissolved. Carefully pour this colorful jello mixture evenly over the top of the cake, ensuring those holes are filled! Cover the cake and chill in the fridge for at least a few hours, or until the jello sets.
- When you're ready to serve, take the cake out of the fridge. Spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top, transforming the cake into a creamy delight. Cut into pieces and serve with fresh sliced strawberries on top for a burst of freshness.
Notes
For extra flavor, top with additional crushed strawberries before serving.
