Strawberry Poke Cake Recipe
I told you it would be a sweet week around here and you know I aim to deliver. We've also been chatting it up about easy to prepare meals too. The weather is starting to warm up a bit, we'll inevitably want to spend more time outdoors than slaving away in a hot kitchen. This Strawberry Poke cake is made with simplistic glory to add to your collection of easy recipes.
This cake is easy enough to serve any night of the week and decadent enough to serve a crowd.
This easy old school style cake really brings me back to childhood with every bite. The exact kind of dessert that was served at almost any occasion you can think of. The best thing about this recipe is that all you need to do is swap out the JELLO gelatin flavor in order to make it completely different.
This one is classic strawberry, but you can really get creative here! The sky's the limit and they are always coming up with new flavors of gelatin to try. I just spotted Cotton Candy flavored gelatin. How fun would that be to try? I'm going to need to make that happen soon.
This classic poke cake recipe will easily become your new go-to easy dessert.

Yum! That looks easy and good. My kind of recipe.
I love the idea of mixing cake with jello, I have one for cake and flan (custard) but this one sounds way more fun, there are infinite combinations u can try!!!
...my time saving technique is to prep everything ahead of time if possible. With 2 toddlers it's easier if I cut/dice/chop when they are napping.
I too have to prep everything when my littles are sleeping. If I do not, then they will never let me get my meals, and desserts done.
I'm in! Thanks for the great giveaway! I think I'll make that Banana Split Cake for Easter.
I'm all over it. I have a wicked sweet tooth, so I will eat just about any kind of sweet treat there is. Let me know the next time you make this and I will be right over 🙂
