Two Hugs

 

Poke cakes appeared on the scene in the late 70’s, and were insanely popular for a while. They couldn’t be simpler to make, and they’re a huge hit at pot lucks.

 

Christmas Poke Cake

 

1 box white cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water)

One 3-ounce box lime Jell-O

One 3-ounce box cherry Jell-O

2 cups boiling water, divided

One 8-ounce tub Cool Whip topping, defrosted

Holiday sprinkles

 

Prepare cake as directed, in a 9x13” pan. Let baked cake cool 20 minutes. Poke several holes in cake with handle of a wooden spoon. Stir cherry Jell-O into 1 cup boiling water. In a separate bowl, stir lime Jell-O into remaining boiling water. Allow both mixes to cool to room temperature. Pour lime mixture into half the cake holes; then pour cherry mixture into the other half. Use all the Jell-O. Refrigerate the cake for 3-4 hours or overnight, and then top with whipped topping and sprinkles.
