POKE CAKE III



Poke Cake III image

This is a delicious cake that is really tasty. Poke holes in a white cake, pour fruit flavored gelatin over that, then top it off with cherry pie filling and whipped topping.

Provided by JWOODBURY

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Cherry Dessert Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package fruit flavored Jell-O® mix
1 cup boiling water
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for one 9x13 inch cake. Remove cake from oven. Poke holes at once down through cake with a fork. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals.
  • While the cake cools, combine the gelatin with boiling water. Pour gelatin mixture over the cake. Top with the cherry pie filling, then cover with whipped topping. Refrigerate cake for one hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for the cake. A larger pan will result in a thinner cake.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes in it. If the cake is still warm, the holes will be too big and the Jell-O will seep into the cake too much.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to poke holes in the cake. A fork will make the holes too big.
  • Pour the Jell-O mixture slowly over the cake. If you pour it too quickly, it will run off the sides of the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give the Jell-O time to set.
  • When you're ready to serve the cake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing it. This will make the cake easier to slice.
  • Garnish the cake with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or sprinkles before serving.

Conclusion:

Cherry Jell-O Poke Cake is a classic dessert that is always a hit at parties and potlucks. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that everyone will love.
