Pinterest Jello Poke Cake


Tried a new Pinterest recipe, Jello Poke Cake. Here is original recipe : http://www.thecountrycook.net/2011/07/jell-o-poke-cupcakes-poke-cake.html


Jell-o Poke Cupcakes

Ingredients:
1 box White Cake Mix
(Ingredients required to make cake; usually egg whites, water and oil)
1 (3 0z.)box strawberry gelatin
1 cup water
1 container of Whipped White Frosting

Directions:
Mix cupcakes as directed on the back of the box and bake as directed.

Allow cupcakes to cool completely.

Boil 1 cup water and add jello, stir until completely dissolved.

Poke holes in cupcakes with fork or toothpick. Don't be afraid to pick right down in there several times. You want plenty of holes for the jell-o to seep into.

Using a spoon, pour strawberry gelatin mixture over cupcake.

Now they need to go into the fridge for about 2-3 hours to set.

Once set, frost cupcakes using whipped frosting.

And if you like, top it off with fresh, sliced strawberries and enjoy!

Cook's Note: You can use any combination of cake mix or Jell-o flavor you like with these. You can use a vanilla or yellow cake mix. Orange Jell-o works well with these. Also, for 4th of July celebrations, it might be fun to use a Berry Blue Jell-o as well.



Here are my changes. I made a yellow cake from scratch. Used my glass 9x11 glass pan. Let cool. Pour Orange Jello over it. Let sit in fridge for 2 hours. Frosted with Cool Whip. Yummy!

  2. That looks so yummy! I think I prefer cakes topped with whipped topping to frosting. I would make this if I had someone to take it away from me after I've eaten one piece. Left alone with this, I would devour the entire pan.
