How to Make Cherry Pie Poke Cake

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake batter according to the cake mix box instructions, using specified amounts of water, oil, and eggs.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for the time specified on the cake mix box, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove cake from oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Using a fork, poke holes approximately 1 inch apart all over the cake.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry gelatin and 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  7. Gently pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  8. Let the cake cool completely.
  9. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the cooled cake.
  10. Top with the thawed whipped topping.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to chill.
