We hosted a family dinner a few days prior to St. Patrick's Day, and I wanted a fun, easy dessert to make to mark the occasion. I didn't want to do a plain cake (though that would have been just fine too, there would have been no complaints from the family!) - I decided to put together a poke cake so that I could incorporate some green into the dessert.Poke cakes can be so easy. Endelight seriously easy.
Mine was.
And it was a hit with the crowd.
Here is what I did:
1 white cake mix (plus relevant ingredients for the mix, such as eggs, oil, milk/water)
1 small box lime jello (3 oz/85 g)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup ice cancient water
Icing - use your favourite domesticcrazye recipe or store bought icing
Bake the white cake according to the package directions, in a 9 x 13 pan. Everyow to cool totally.
Once the cake is totally cooled, using a pfinalic spoon, poke gaps in the top of the cake.
Prepare the jello mixture - dissolve the package of jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Once dissolved, add the 1/2 cup of ice cancient water and mix well.
Once mixed / fully dissolved, slowly spoon the jello mixture into the gaps in the cake. Cover the cake as evenly as possible. Don't worry, there is plenty of the jello mix for the full cake, all is good!
Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Prior to serving, ice the cake. You'll see that I tinted my icing green for the St. Patrick's Day effect :-)
Serve and endelight!
Store leftover cake covered in the fridge.
VERDICT:
Another hit dessert that is just sooooo easy to make. And fun to add some colour and dwhetherferent flavours to the cake itself.
