JELL-O® POKE CAKE
An old Southern recipe passed down through my grandmother. You can vary the flavor of gelatin used in order to get a specific color for any holiday, e.g. lime for St. Patrick's day. You can top this cake with berries, sprinkles, or any topping of your choice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- Pour cold water into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin mix on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved.
- Poke holes all over the cake using a fork. Pour gelatin mix into the holes. Refrigerate cake until gelatin is set, up to 6 hours.
- Spread whipped topping over cake.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the Pkg. cake mix according to the box directions but cook it in a Bundt pan. 350° for 38-43 minutes. Cool.
- 2. To make the Jello Shots mix the package of Jello with boiling water until all the Jello is dissolved ; add liquor of your choice.( I like vodka or rum )
- 3. Remove the cake from the pan ; Wash and dry the pan and spray with veg. spray so the cake won't stick to the Bundt pan ; Put the cake back in the pan.
- 4. Poke holes in a zig zag pattern around the cake , about 1" apart with the handle of a wooden spoon and Carefully pour the Jello in the holes.
- 5. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set the Jello for about 3-4 hours. Invert onto a plater ; and serve :)
- 6. I like to mix up 2 different flavors of Jello ( Don't mix the flavors of alcohol )and pour a different flavor in every other hole ; makes it prettier and more potent ...enjoy
