Raspberry Dream Poke Cake

I happen to love raspberry, but other flavors that would rock with this are lemon, similar to our lemon curd poke cake, blackberry, cherry, and even orange works great like my orange and lemon poke cake, a citrus lovers dream. I’m sure you can find other great combinations and flavors too!

I love to bake, no secret about that. But I also love to save time. For very special occasions I try to use one of my from-scratch cakes, like when the cake is center stage. But I always have boxed cake mixes in my pantry and look for them to go on sale so I can stock up.

They are especially wonderful when you need something fast and don’t have time for all the fuss of a from scratch cake, as fun as that may be for someone like me!

This cake uses a boxed white cake mix, some Jell-O, whipped topping and pie filling. It’s nothing short of amazing. I promise.

Ingredients you’ll need for Raspberry Dream Poke Cake

1 box white cake mix
3 oz package raspberry gelatin
1 1/2 cups boiling water
8 oz container Cool Whip or fresh whipped topping
21 oz can raspberry pie filling

Helpful Kitchen Tools

Bake the white cake according to the package directions using a 13×9 pan. Remove from oven and cool for ten minutes. Use a serving fork to poke holes an inch or so apart all over the cake.

Add the Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Slowly pour it over the cake. The rest is refrigeration and topping. Delicious!
