Ingredients
1 (15.25-ounce) box white cake mix plus any ingredients listed on box
1 (3-ounce) box strawberry Jell-O (or raspberry or cherry)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (or 2 cups whipped cream)

Instructions
1. Prepare cake as directed on the box and bake in a 9-x-13-inch baking dish. Let cool for 15
minutes.
2. Poke cake with a fork at ½–1-inch intervals.
3. Use hot and cold water to make Jell-O as directed on the package.
4. Spoon Jell-O liquid over the cake gradually until it is all absorbed.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours. Top with whipped topping right before serving.

Notes
Storage: Because of the Jell-O, this poke cake must be kept chilled. Tightly cover the cake and keep in
the refrigerator for 2–3 days.Cupcake Version: Instead of making a 9-x-13-inch cake, make cupcakes
according to the directions on the cake mix box. Once cupcakes have cooled, poke them with a fork or
skewer, drizzle Jell-O into the holes and chill as directed above before adding whipped topping.
