That's Sweet!: Poke Cake

For a 4th of July BBQ with friends, we brought dessert - poke cake! Poke cake is very easy to make and really changes a regular store bought cake mix.

Poke Cake
1 yellow or white cake, baked and cooled
1 4 oz pkg jello (flavor is your choice)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
Cool Whip
Fruit Garnish (if you so choose)

Using a skewer or a toothpick or a thin knife, poke holes all over the top of your baked and cooled cake. Dissolve Jello in boiling water, then add cold water. Then pour the jello over the cake letting it seep into all the holes. Refrigerate overnight.

Top with Cool Whip and garnish with fruit as desired.

I used cherry jello and garnished with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

Very yummy and very easy!
