Christmas Jello Poke Cake
With a box cake mix, two types of Jello, and whipped cream, this red and green Jello Poke Cake is a great dessert for your Christmas get-together. It’s flavorful, super moist, and festive!
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 15 once box white cake mix + ingredients to make it (such as eggs, oil, etc - whatever it lists on the box. Or use a from scratch white cake, if preferred.)
- 3 ounce box Lime Jell-O
- 3 ounce box Cherry Jell-O
- 8 ounce tub Cool Whip , thawed (or use homemade whipped cream, if preferred)
- red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare white cake mix according to package directions, baking in a greased 9x13 pan. Allow cake to cool for about 20 minutes.
- Using a straw or the handle of a small wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- Prepare each box of Jell-o using 1 cup of boiling water + 1/2 cup of cold water. (This is 1/2 cup less cold water than what is called for on package instructions.)
- Carefully pour or spoon the green Jell-o over a portion of the cake, making sure to get the liquid into the holes.
- Carefully pour or spoon the red Jell-o over the other portion of the cake, making sure to get the liquid into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight – this allows the Jell-o to set up within the cake.
- Spread the top evenly with the Cool Whip.
- Add red and green holiday sprinkles on top.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
