Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake
Surprise your taste buds with this delightful Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake! Its a fruity, creamy treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
– 1 package 3 oz raspberry-flavored gelatin mix
– 1 jar 1012 oz raspberry preserves
– 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup cold water
– 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients required on the box
– 1 container 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar optional, for extra sweetness
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake it in the prepared dish and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven.
3. Once the cake cools slightly, take the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork and poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake.
4. In a medium bowl, mix the raspberry gelatin with the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, then add the cold water and mix well.
5. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for maximum flavor infusion.
6. Lightly warm the raspberry preserves in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them easier to spread. Once warm, evenly spread the warmed preserves over the entire cake.
7. In a separate bowl, gently fold the sweetened shredded coconut into the thawed whipped topping. If you prefer a little extra sweetness, mix in the powdered sugar as well.
8. Once combined, spread the whipped topping mixture evenly over the cooled cake, covering it beautifully.
9. To allow all the flavors to meld, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or until its completely chilled.
10. Slice up your delightful Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake, serve, and enjoy the nostalgic flavors that are sure to impress!
