Description

This Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of white cake with the tartness of raspberries for a refreshing treat.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)

For the Raspberry Gelatin:

  • 1 box (3 oz) raspberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven and bake the white cake mix as directed on the box in a 9×13-inch pan. Let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Raspberry Gelatin: Dissolve raspberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add cold water and stir.
  3. Poke and Pour: Poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon. Slowly pour the gelatin mixture over the cake, letting it soak into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Assemble the Topping: Spread raspberry jam over the set gelatin. Gently spread whipped topping over the jam. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. Slice and serve.
