INSTRUCTIONS:

1. 1st Step – Bake the Cake:
   • Prepare and bake the cake according to the instructions on the box, using a 9×13-inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
2. 2nd Step – Create the Holes:
   • Once the cake has cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Space the holes evenly across the surface.
3. 3rd Step – Make the Flavored Gelatin:
   • In a bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture.
4. 4th Step – Pour the Gelatin:
   • Carefully pour the prepared gelatin mixture over the cooled cake, ensuring that it seeps into the holes and covers the entire surface evenly.
5. 5th Step – Chill and Set:
   • Cover the cake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight to allow the gelatin to set and infuse the cake with flavor.
6. 6th Step – Top with Whipped Cream:
   • Prior to serving, spread a generous layer of whipped topping or whipped cream over the chilled cake, covering it completely.
7. 7th Step – Decorate for Easter:
   • Let your creativity shine by decorating the Easter Poke Cake with assorted Easter-themed decorations. Arrange candy eggs, pastel sprinkles, and edible flowers on top of the whipped cream for a festive and colorful presentation.
8. 8th Step – Serve and Enjoy:
   • Slice the decorated Easter Poke Cake into squares or rectangles, revealing the colorful layers created by the flavored gelatin. Serve chilled and delight in the Easter-themed sweetness of this delicious treat.

Recipe Tips:

• Experiment with different flavored gelatins to create a rainbow effect or stick to Easter-inspired colors such as pastels.
• For added richness, you can drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the cake before adding the gelatin mixture.
• Customize the decorations based on your Easter theme or personal preferences, incorporating edible grass, chocolate bunnies, or themed cake toppers.
