Gelatin Poke Cake

I have made this type of cake many times over the years and it is always received well. It is light, cool and refreshing. Adults and children love this easy to make cake.

Excellent dessert, a must try

The Kids love the fact that there is Jello in the cake and love making the holes to pour the jello into! I have tried it with all kinds of different flavors of cake and jello, all are excellent!

I've made this cake at least 100 times over the years and I always get rave reviews. It's so simple, light and refreshing. Great for summer entertaining. I use the handle of a wooden spoon to make larger holes for the gelatin to soak in. Any flavor of gelatin is good, but I usually use strawberry, cherry or lemon.

I made 8 of these for my neice's graduation party. She doesn't like the super sweet buttercream frosting. What a hit!! We ended up with 3 pieces left! What a great alternative and very refresthing!

I love this recipe for summer and 4th of July, I use 1/2 box of strawberry and 1/2 of the mixed "blue" jello. I make both jellos seperately and pour one on and place in the fridge to set for 15 mins. I then apply the 2nd color. Before I serve the cake after I have applied the Cool Whip I ever so lightly sprinkle a little of the remaining jello powder on top, it gives it a "fireworks" look.

with nearly endless variety by combining different flavors of cake mixes with a complimentary flavor of jello, you can't go wrong! EASY + DELECIOUS!

I made this cake today and it was very easy and everyone loved it. I used strawberry cool whip for the topping and strawberry jello. I will be making this again and I would love to try some different jello flavors.

One of my sons loves it. What more can I say ?????

Trying to cut the fat in our diet has made dessert difficult, this is a great solution for a low fat dessert. I used a white cake mix and substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil, and three whole eggs, 1 cup of water, works great although it takes a little longer to mix the ingredients. After the cake was cooled 15 minutes I poked holes with the handle of a wooden spoon. I used strawberry jello but the combinations like previous reviewers said are endless. No whipped cream just fresh strawberries to top. Yummy.
