4th of July Jello Poke Cake {Red, White & Blue Dessert}
The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, not only because of the BBQs, fireworks and time spent with family, but also because of the delicious desserts like this Jello Poke Cake. I love a good poke cake topped with whipped topping and this one that uses red and blue berry flavored jello is no exception.
It’s always fun to serve a themed dessert and the fourth of July seems to lend itself well to this since things like blueberries and strawberries are in season at the right time.
If you’ve never made a poke cake, don’t be intimidated, all you do is prepare your boxed cake mix, poke holes in the top and pour your prepared jello or pudding mixture over the cake. Lastly, you top it with whipped topping and fresh fruit or sprinkles. It’s really quite easy and I prefer them over regular cakes any day.
