Festive Holiday Poke Cake

Recipe

Ingredients:

1 box of white cake mix (plus ingredients needed for the cake mix, typically eggs, water, and oil)

1 box of strawberry-flavored gelatin

1 cup boiling water

1/2 cup cold water

1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix

1 1/2 cups cold milk

1 tub of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Assorted holiday-themed sprinkles and decorations

Directions:

Start by baking the white cake according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves combining the cake mix with eggs, water, and oil. Bake it in a 9x13-inch cake pan and let it cool completely.

Once the cake is cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a straw to poke holes all over the cake. Make sure the holes are evenly spaced.

In a small bowl, prepare the strawberry gelatin by mixing it with 1 cup of boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Add 1/2 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir well.

Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture evenly over the poked cake, making sure it fills the holes. This will give your cake a delightful strawberry flavor.

Place the cake in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking it with 1 1/2 cups of cold milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens.

Gently spread the vanilla pudding over the strawberry gelatin layer.

Next, spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the pudding layer.

Decorate your Christmas Poke Cake with holiday-themed sprinkles and decorations to make it festive and cheerful.

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. This allows all the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.

Slice and enjoy your deliciously festive Christmas Poke Cake!
