This simple poke cake is the perfect treat and a great way to show your patriotic spirit! This Patriotic Poke Cake perfectly light and fluffy and topped with fruit, make sure to try this one out!
I’m not going to turn down a good piece of cake but honestly, it’s not my first pick for a dessert. This cake though was hard for me to resist. It was light and fluffy and full of flavor. Since I wanted to keep the entire cake light I just added whip topping on top for the icing with fresh fruit.
How to make Patriotic Poke Cake:
- For this recipe, I used a box cake mix and baked according to the box directions.
- Once cooled I used a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake all over and then filled it with the Jell-o mix that was mixed with water.
- Place it in the fridge just like you would Jell-o and let it sit for a few hours or overnight just like you would Jell-o.
- Once it was set I just added some cool whip to the top and then decorated it with fresh strawberries and blueberries. It was SO good!
