Strawberry Poke Cake
Cold strawberry poke cake made with white cake mix, strawberry Jell-O, Cool Whip, and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- Ingredients called for on cake mix box using milk instead of water if desired
- 1 package strawberry Jell-O
- Boiling water
- Cold water
- 1 container Cool Whip thawed
- Fresh strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Bake cake in a 9x13 pan according to package directions, using milk instead of water if desired.
- While cake is still warm, poke holes all over with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Dissolve strawberry Jell-O in boiling water, then stir in cold water.
- Pour Jell-O mixture evenly over the warm cake so it sinks into the holes.
- Refrigerate until fully chilled and set.
- Spread thawed Cool Whip over the top.
- Top with sliced strawberries before serving.
Notes
Using milk instead of water in the cake mix gives a richer texture. Pour the Jell-O over the cake while it is still warm so it soaks in properly. Make ahead the day before for the best set. Add fresh strawberries shortly before serving so they stay pretty.
