    Strawberry Poke Cake made with box cake mix and jell-o.

    It’s amazing, just when I think that I’ve learned about every type of cake out there, I learn about a new one! Lately, I’ve shared some awesome recipes for all sorts of new cakes that I’ve been into. This Crack Cake Recipe is actually mixed with white wine, and it is seriously addictive! This Pineapple Sunshine Cake bring a bright ray of tropical fun to the end of any meal!

    So Many Uses For Box Cake Mix!

    The one thing both of these cakes have in common is that they are based on a box cake mix, and then dressed up to so much more fun and tasty. Grew up thinking that box cake mixes were simply used to make boring cakes with some chocolate or vanilla frosting on them. But I’ve been learning that you can use this simple ingredient to make so many awesome desserts! I LOVE Cake Mix Cookies too! There are tons of cookies you can use to make cookies! Like these Cake Mix Strawberry Cookies that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Or these Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies, that would be a perfect Christmas Cookie addition to any cookie exchange!

    Strawberry Jello Poke Cake

    Strawberry Poke Cake

    Our Strawberry Poke Cake Recipe starts out with a simple cake mix. And you’ll make it just like it says to on the box. Super easy! It is what you will do afterwards that will take this recipe to the next level!

    What Is A Poke Cake?

    The reason that they call these Poke cakes is simple! Once the cake is completely baked and cooled, you “poke” holes into it! I use the handle of a wooden spoon, but you can use anything! Now, when you pour the jello over the cake, it will fall into the holes and seep into the cake. The result is a tasty, beautiful marbling of flavor throughout the cake!

    Strawberry Poke Cake Instructions includes making holes after baking the cake.

    What Ingredients Do You Need For Strawberry Poke Cake?

    Here is what you will need to get started!

    • white cake mix, prepared and baked
    • strawberry Jell-O
    • boiling water
    • cold water
    • whipped topping
    • Strawberries for garnish, optional

    Does A Jello Poke Cake Need To Be Refrigerated?

    Yep! You’ll definitely want to keep the leftovers in the fridge because of the jello and the whipped cream. Just cover it with some foil or saran wrap and it should be good for about 5 days in the your refrigerator.

    Can I Freeze A Strawberry Poke Cake?

    You can certainly bake the box cake mix and freeze it. Then, whenever you are ready to make this recipe, you can simply thaw it out, make the Jell-O and top it accordingly. I probably wouldn’t try to freeze it after all the toppings are on it.

    Strawberry Jello Cake Makes a great dessert for any occasion.

    Do I Have To Use Strawberry Jell-O?

    No! In fact, that is one of the most awesome things about this recipe. You can switch up the Jell-O flavor however you want to. Pineapple, Strawberry-Banana, Raspberry, Lemon… and more! There are so many options!

    Other Notes and Tips

    For another fun idea to add a little jazz to this recipe, you can add some Jell-O instant pudding the the layers. Just put it in between the Strawberry Jello and the Whipped Topping. Simple make the Pudding according to the directions on the box, let it set and cool, then spread it on top of the Strawberry Jello before you add your whipped topping. I’d suggest using Vanilla Pudding flavor, but you can use any flavor that sounds awesome to you!

    One of the keys to this recipe is that you need to let everything cool and set if it says to do so in the instructions. So, while this IS a simple recipe to make, it is not a QUICK recipe. So, make sure allot plenty of time to prepare this recipe. It’s not a bad idea to make the cake the day before to make sure it has time to fully cool before adding the toppings.
