Cake with Jell-O poured on top?

Question

I'm looking for a recipe in which you bake a cake, and then once it's done, you're to poke lots of holes in the top of the cake, and then pour Jell-O (liquid) over top of the cake, and the refrigerate it...

I'm not sure if that's all you have to do, and was just looking for a complete recipe.


Thanks!

Answer 1

Jell-O Poke Cake


1 package (18-oz) pudding-included cake mix, any flavor and color.
1 package (3-oz) Jell-0, of complementary flavor and color.
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water

Prepare cake batter as per package instructions. Pour into greased
and floured 13"x9" cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes.

While cake is cooling, dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Add cold
water and allow to cool to room temperature.

Now it's poke time! Take a fork and poke lots and lots of little holes
in the cake. Carefully pour Jell-O over cake. Put cake in refrigerator
and chill three to four hours.

Answer 2

Flourescent Jello Cake

* 1 package of white cake mix
* ingredients to make the white cake
* 2 packages of jello (3 oz dry or enough to gel 2 cups of liquid each pkg), different colors is better.
* somewhere between a cup and a pint of whipping cream
* Sugar and vanilla for the whip cream, to taste (about 2 tbsp sugar for a cup of cream?)
* Food coloring



1. Make the white cake according to directions. If you have time, let it cool a little.
2. While the cake is baking make the jello packages separately with only 1/2 the water (should be 1 cup boiling water each.)
3. Poke a lot of holes into the cake with a medium thick stick, like the big end of a chop stick. (every 3/4 inch or so?)
4. Pour cooled but still-liquid jello over the cake, alternating colors in different areas. Make sure to saturate the entire cake, particularly the holes.
5. Chill cake until the jello solidifies.
6. While the jello is solidifying, whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla, and food coloring. If desired, make multiple batches of colored whipcream.
7. Frost cake with whip cream.

Ideally, when this cake is cut, you'll see a sort of marbled effect from the different colors of jello. When we made this for the flourescent dinner day, we used orange and red and yellow jello with similar colors for the topping.

Use any box cake, what ever flavor goes with the jello you want to use, and make according to the package directions. Pour it into a 9 x 12 prepared pan and bake. Cool it and use the handle of a round wooden spoon or something similar and polk holes about 2 inches apart all over the cake. Prepare your flavor of jello, large size box or two small and allow it to clool to warm but not to settling temperature. Pour it over the cake and into the holes and cool in refridgerator until it is set. Top it with any cream cheese/whipcream recipe topping. I make my own of 2/3 part cream cheese to 1/3 part real whip cream and then I top it with any variety of other delicious items for flavor. I use pineapple chunks, chopped cherries, mandrine orange sections, strawberry sections, etc., depending on the flavor of the cake and jello.

That's all you do..it is called a Poke Cake....I use strawberry jello or cherry, I have tried lemon but didn't like it so much.....after I pour the hot jello onto the cake refrigerate....I then ice it with cool whip or wait and serve the pieces of cake with a dollop of whipped topping

Answer 5

Ah, childhood memories. Mine would make the same cake. It was always lemon cake with green/lime jell-o. After it chilled she'd top it with a zesty lemon icing. The above recipe sounds about right. She would always use the turkey baster to deliver the green jello into the cake. I hadn't thought about it since reading this. Thanks for sparking the neurons!

Answer 6

To serve, you can also cut cake into slices, serve one or two on a plate topped with fresh fruit and Cool Whip.

Answer 7

I recommends Strawberry Jello. It is delicious and makes the cake very very moist.
