Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake
This Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake will be a family reunion, and cookout this summer!
INGREDIENTS
1 box (18.25oz.) white cake mix
Ingredients listed on the box to prepare cake
1 box (3 oz.) raspberry-flavored gelatin (Jello)
2 cups hot water
1 jar (10 oz.) raspberry preserves
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
1 bag (7 oz.) shredded coconut
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bake the cake according to box directions using a 9×13-in. baking pan.
- After the cake has baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 30 minutes. Using the handle end of a wooden spoon or a meat fork, poke cake every inch or so with the handle of a wooden spoon or tines of a meat fork halfway into the cake. There is no set number of holes, but you want plenty of places to fill. Mix the raspberry gelatin with 2 cups of hot water until dissolved. Pour the Jello evenly over the cake, trying to fill the holes as much as you can.
- In a small bowl, microwave the raspberry preserves until simple to spread, about 30 seconds. Pour the preserves over the top of the cake and spread evenly. Top with Cool Whip. Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top. Cool for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Reserve leftovers in the fridge.
