Raspberry Jello Poke Cake Recipe
Jello poke cake is a lot of fun to make and it is a very simple recipe too. The following jello poke cake recipe uses a plain cake and you poke holes in it and pour raspberry jello over the cake. When the jello sets, it encloses the cake and makes a delicious dessert. The jello covers the outside of the cake and permeates through it. Pour it on slowly for the best results.
The Cool Whip can be used to decorate this jello cake and you might even want to arrange a few raspberries on top, if they are in season. You can decorate this cake however you like and even having it plain, apart from the Cool Whip, makes quite a nice looking cake.
You can vary the jello flavor if you prefer. This is a good recipe to make for a kids' birthday party or just when you fancy something a little bit different for dessert. This recipe for jello poke cake does not take long to make but it does need to chill for four hours to give the jello chance to set, so make it in plenty of time. You can keep this jello poke cake in the refrigerator for several days.
