Red strawberries, white cake, and blue jello, come together to create this simple and delicious patriotic Red, White, and Blue Jello Poke Cake perfect for the 4th of July!   Like Mother Like Daughter - Aimee

Hi friends! It’s Aimee from Like Mother, Like Daughter and I’m so happy to be visiting over here while Amber takes some time off to enjoy her new squishy and adorable baby! Since Amber is the queen of poke cakes, I knew that the perfect recipe to share with you guys would be a poke cake recipe. And since I’d never made a poke cake before (can you believe it!?) I figured this was the perfect place to start – now I’m never turning back!

This red, white, and blue jello poke cake couldn’t be easier and it’s the perfect dessert for your upcoming Fourth of July barbecue or party! To get the red, white, and blue colors, we start with a white cake mix, blue jello, and top it all with strawberries. I added a few blueberries too to make the cake into a flag, but that’s optional.

Red, White, and Blue Jello Poke Cake

Red strawberries, white cake, and blue jello, come together to create this simple and delicious patriotic Red, White, and Blue Jello Poke Cake perfect for the 4th of July!
Yield 12 + servings

Ingredients

  • 1 white cake mix (and ingredients called for on box -- oil, egg whites, and water)
  • 1 (3oz) box blue raspberry jello (powder only)
  • 1 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1 (8oz) tub cool whip
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • optional: blueberries to create a flag on top of the cake

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cake mix in a large mixing bowl according to package directions. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake in oven according to package directions. (Mine was 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 29 minutes.)
  2. Allow cake to cool for about 30 minutes when done baking.
  3. Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a small pot over medium heat. Pour in your dry jello mix and stir until dissolved. Add in your remaining ½ cup of water (it should be cold!) and stir.
  4. Poke holes into your cake using a fork, and space them about an inch apart. Pour jello evenly over the top of your cake. Cover the cake and place it in your fridge for 3 hours.
  5. Spread cool whip over the top of your cake evenly. Arrange strawberry slices over the top of your cool whip as desired. Store in fridge for 1 hour before serving.
