Today was our friend Bob's birthday. Happy Birthday Bob! His wife Cathy made him a JELL-O Poke Cake for his birthday cake which I believe has become a tradition. It's so good, you'll want seconds. You can have a lot of fun with this cake by picking out your own JELL-O flavors. Although I don't have Cathy's specific recipe, I have made this one a couple of times. 
Festive JELL-O Poke Cake
2 baked white cake layers (9 inch), cooled
2 cups boiling water, divided
1 pkg. (85 g) JELL-O Strawberry Jelly Powder
1 pkg. (85 g) JELL-O Lime Jelly Powder
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
Make It!
PLACE cakes, top-sides up, in 2 clean 9-inch round pans. Pierce cakes with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals.
ADD 1 cup boiling water to each flavour jelly powder in separate bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Carefully pour red jelly over 1 cake layer, and green jelly over remaining cake layer. Refrigerate 3 hours.
UNMOULD cakes. Fill and frost with Cool Whip. Keep refrigerated.
For coloured frosting, gently stir 2 to 3 drops food colouring into the Cool Whip before using as directed.
Hey Brad,
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the same recipe I use.
Would love to see the recipe for the stuffed french toast at some point (hint hint) :-)
