How to Make Raspberry Poke Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare one box (15.25 oz) of white cake mix according to package directions, using water, oil, and egg whites.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
  6. Once cooled, poke the cake all over with a fork, about 1/2 inch apart.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 3 oz (3 packets) raspberry gelatin and 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  8. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir to combine.
  9. Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the poked cake.
  10. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
  12. Spread a 12 oz container of whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  13. Garnish with fresh raspberries (about 1 cup).
  14. Store covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
