Description

Poke cakes are a fun and festive way to add some color and flavor to your dessert table, and the Delightful Easter Poke Cake is no exception. This colorful, moist cake is topped with a creamy layer that blends perfectly with vibrant gelatin-infused cake layers.

Ingredients

  • White cake mix
  • Eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Water
  • Gelatin (assorted colors)
  • Whipped topping
  • Cream cheese (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake: Bake the white cake according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Poke the Cake: After cooling slightly, use a fork or skewer to poke holes all over the cake.
  • Prepare the Gelatin: Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and carefully pour it over the cake, ensuring it soaks into the holes. Let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb.
  • Add the Topping: Spread whipped topping over the gelatin-infused cake. Optionally, mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, or softened cream cheese to the topping.
  • Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, garnish with additional decorations if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake the cake to keep it moist.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for the frosting to avoid clumps.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, but overnight chilling enhances the flavor.
