- 1st Step – Bake the Cake:
- Prepare and bake the cake according to the instructions on the box, using a 9×13-inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- 2nd Step – Create the Holes:
- Once the cake has cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Space the holes evenly across the surface.
- 3rd Step – Make the Flavored Gelatin:
- In a bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture.
- 4th Step – Pour the Gelatin:
- Carefully pour the prepared gelatin mixture over the cooled cake, ensuring that it seeps into the holes and covers the entire surface evenly.
- 5th Step – Chill and Set:
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight to allow the gelatin to set and infuse the cake with flavor.
- 6th Step – Top with Whipped Cream:
- Prior to serving, spread a generous layer of whipped topping or whipped cream over the chilled cake, covering it completely.
- 7th Step – Decorate for Easter:
- Let your creativity shine by decorating the Easter Poke Cake with assorted Easter-themed decorations. Arrange candy eggs, pastel sprinkles, and edible flowers on top of the whipped cream for a festive and colorful presentation.
- 8th Step – Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the decorated Easter Poke Cake into squares or rectangles, revealing the colorful layers created by the flavored gelatin. Serve chilled and delight in the Easter-themed sweetness of this delicious treat.
Recipe Tips:
- Experiment with different flavored gelatins to create a rainbow effect or stick to Easter-inspired colors such as pastels.
- For added richness, you can drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the cake before adding the gelatin mixture.
- Customize the decorations based on your Easter theme or personal preferences, incorporating edible grass, chocolate bunnies, or themed cake toppers.
