Provided by á-46561

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (18 ounces) white or french vanilla cake mix
+ eggs, oil and water called for on cake mix
1 (3 ounce) box strawberry, raspberry or cherry jello
1 (3 ounce) box lime jello
2 cups boiling water
1 (16 ounce) container whipped topping or Cool Whip frosting
Holiday sprinkles

Steps:

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions for a 2 layer round cake. Place cooled cake layers, top-sides up, in clean 8 or 9-inch round pans; pierce with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals. In separate bowls, add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor dry gelatin mix. Stir 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Slowly pour 3/4 of the red gelatin mixture over 1 cake round and 3/4 of the lime gelatin over second cake layer. When pouring the Jell-O over the cake layers it will look like the whole cake is saturated with color, but the gelatin mixture will only enter the holes that you made with the fork. Discard the remaining jello or save for another purpose. Frost cake layers with whipped topping or Cool Whip frosting. Add sprinkles. Refrigerate cake at least 1 hour before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 chocolate cake mix, prepared and baked according to the directions on the box.
1 cup peppermint dairy creamer
14.5 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 jar Smuckers hot fudge sundae sauce
1/4 cup peppermint dairy creamer
1 cup crushed Oreos
8 ounces Cool Whip
Andes Peppermint Chips for topping (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
Crushed Oreos for topping (approximately 1 cup)

Steps:

Once the cake has cool, use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke 20+ holes in the cake. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of the peppermint dairy creamer. Pour over the cake, trying to fill in the holes. In the same bowl, whisk together the hot fudge sundae sauce and 1/4 cup peppermint dairy creamer. Mix in 1 cup crushed Oreos. Pour and spread the fudge mixture over the cake as evenly as possible. Spread the cool whip over the fudge. Sprinkle on the Andes candy bits and crushed Oreos (as much or as little as you want). Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, until the sweetened condensed mixture has soaked into the cake and it's thoroughly chilled. Cut and serve.

Tips:

Use a sturdy cake mix. A firm cake mix will hold up better to the poking and frosting.
Poke the cake evenly. Use a fork or toothpick to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
Use a flavorful frosting. The frosting is what really makes this cake special, so choose a flavor that you love. Some popular options include chocolate, vanilla, and cream cheese.
Get creative with your toppings. You can top this cake with just about anything you like, such as sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts.
Chill the cake before serving. This will help the frosting to set and make the cake easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Christmas poke cake is a fun and festive dessert that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its moist cake, flavorful frosting, and festive toppings, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
