Ingredients
- 1 box of your favorite white cake mix
- water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 container of frozen whipped topping

How To Make Raspberry Poke Cake
Step 1: Make the Cake – Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease a 9 x13 cake pan or glass baking dish, then set aside. In a stand mixer add cake mix along with the eggs, oil and water as directed on the box. Mix for 3 minutes until batter is nice and fluffy. Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake as directed on the box. Be sure to check the cake and once a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, it is done. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
Step 2: Poke Holes in the Cake – Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a straw, poke holes all over the cooled cake. Ensure the holes are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Top With Gelatin- Prepare the raspberry-flavored gelatin by dissolving it in 1 cup of hot water. Then, add 1/2 cup of cold water to the mixture. Slowly pour the raspberry gelatin over the cake, making sure it fills the holes. Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 4: Whipped Cream Topping – Spread the frozen whipped topping over the chilled cake, creating a fluffy cloud-like topping. You can add fresh raspberries if you would like to for a garnish. Cut and serve!
