Strawberry Poke Cake

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with Baker’s Joy or a generic baking spray. Set it aside.
  • Using a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the boxed cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites until completely combined.
  • Evenly pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Using either a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the warm cake, spacing 1 inch apart. Allow the cake to cool completely.

Strawberry Filling

  • Using a medium-sized heat-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 40 seconds. Stir the mixture until the chips are melted and smooth.
  • Using a small heat-safe bowl, combine the boiling water and the strawberry flavored gelatin. Stir until all the sugar in the gelatin is dissolved.
  • Pour the gelatin over the white chocolate mixture. Stir until completely combined.
  • Evenly pour the white chocolate mixture over the cake, smoothing with a silicone spatula.
  • Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the strawberry pie filling over the top of the white chocolate topping. Tightly cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.

Topping

  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator, evenly spread the whipped topping over the cake.
  • Lay the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped topping.
  • Slice the cake into 2×2 slices.

Notes

  • It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
  • If you want a darker red strawberry filling, you can add 4 to 6 drops of red food coloring to the jello mixture.
  • When you’re pouring the mixture into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the sauce fills the holes completely.
