Description

A delightful and refreshing strawberry poke cake that captures the essence of summer. Perfect for gatherings!


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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl, blending until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  4. Allow the cake to cool for at least an hour.
  5. Poke holes evenly across the surface of the cooled cake with a wooden spoon or fork.
  6. Mix the boiling water with the strawberry jello until fully dissolved, then let it cool slightly.
  7. Pour the jello over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  8. Cover the top with whipped topping, creating a fluffy layer.
  9. Garnish with halved strawberries, arranging them artistically.
  10. Serve by cutting into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Make-ahead friendly; store in the refrigerator for best flavor. For neat slices, run a knife under hot water before cutting.
