How to Make a Jello Poke Cake
This strawberry poke cake is my favorite dessert to make in the summer time! It’s ridiculously easy and actually fun to make! You can poke the holes using a straw or the end of a wooden spoon.
I always have my 5 year old son help me because he loves to help in the kitchen!
It’s important for you to let it cool and chill in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.
This jello poke cake is so perfect to bring to potlucks or BBQ’s! Make sure to also try our strawberry cheesecake poke cake!
