Jello Poke Cake

This was a favorite of mine growing up. My mom used to make it for my birthday.

  • 1 white cake
  • 1 (3 oz.) package of jello
  • 1 c. boiling water
  • 1/2 c. cold water
  • whipped topping

Prepare cake as directed in an oblong cake pan. Cool pan 15 minutes. Poke cake with fork every 1/2 to 1 inch. Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add cold water. Spoon over the cake slowly so the Jello mixture soaks into the holes. Chill 3 to 4 hours. Top with Cool Whip.

Orange Jello Cake

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • 1 small pkg orange jello

Beat all ingredients together. Bake at 350°F for one hour in a 13 x 9 pan.       

Topping

  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 cup frozen orange juice, thawed

Just before the cake is done, mix together the sugar and orange concentrate. While cake is still warm, prick several times with a fork, then brush the topping onto the cake until it all soaks in.
