A delightful blend of nostalgia and joy, this Easy Strawberry Poke Cake is a perfect dessert for any gathering or cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package white cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs (or 4 egg whites)
- 1 package strawberry jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 12 strawberries (cut in half)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray.
- Combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth; the batter will be airy and ready for baking!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for an hour.
- Poke holes in the cake using a wooden spoon or fork, creating a pattern of little pockets.
- Mix the boiling water with strawberry jello until it’s fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.
- Pour the jello over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all those delightful holes.
- Cover the entire cake with a generous layer of whipped topping and top it with beautiful, halved strawberries.
- Cut into 24 squares, serve, and watch as smiles light up the room!
