Ingredients

1 (15.25 oz) white cake mix plus ingredients called for on the box
1 (3oz) box strawberry Jello
1 cup boiling water
1 (8oz) container cool whip
fresh strwaberries for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 9×13 pan with baking spray and set aside for later.
Mix the cake mix with the ingredients called for on the box. Pour into the prepared pan and bake according to the package directions.
Remove the cake from the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Using the rounded end of a wooden spoon handle, poke holes over the top of the cake.
Whisk the strawberry Jello powder with 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until the powder has dissolved. Pour over the prepared cake, trying to spread evenly over the top.
Let the warm cake cool to room temperature. I like to put mine into the refrigerator for at least one hour after it has cooled.
When ready to serve, spread the whipped topping over the cake and add fresh sliced strawberries.

Notes

This is not an original recipe. Poke cake has been made for years by many many people. This is the way I was taught to make it from my grandma.
