Here is a Strawberry Poke Cake Recipe that is simple and delicious!
You will need
1 regular size white cake mix
1 ¼ cups water
2 eggs
¼ cup canola oil
2 packages (10oz each) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries thawed
2 packages (3 oz each) strawberry gelatin
1 carton (10 oz) whipped topping thawed and divided
Optional fresh strawberries.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs and oil and beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into two greased and flowered 9 inch round baking pans. Bake at 350 for 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for ten minutes and remove from pans to wire racks until cooled completely.
Using a serrated knife, level tops of cakes if necessary. Return layers, top side up to two clean 9 inch round baking pans. Pierce cakes with a meat fork or wooden skewer at one half inch intervals.
Drain juice from strawberries into a 2 cup measuring cup. Refrigerate berries. Add water to juice to measure 2 cups and pour into a small saucepan and bring that to a boil, stir in gelatin until dissolved. Chill for 30 minutes and gently spoon over each cake layer. Chill for 2 to 3 hours.
Dip bottom of one pan in warm water for 10 seconds. Insert cake onto a serving platter. Top with reserved strawberries and one cup whipped topping. Ed. note…..I take that back. This does not look simple but it does look delicious.
Frost cake with remaining whipped topping. Chill for at least one hour. Serve with fresh berries if desired.
