Patriotic Poke Cake

Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions using the water, eggs and vegetable oil.

Pour cake batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake 22-25 minutes (according to package directions). Let the cake cool.

While the cake is cooling prepare the jello in 2 separate bowls according to the box instructions. *You’ll only use 1 cup each of the red and blue prepared jello. You’ll have leftovers to refrigerate and enjoy later! Let the jello mixtures cool slightly.

Back to the cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon poke about 50 holes in the cake, 1 inch apart. Go 3/4 of the way into the cake, not all the way through.

Starting at an angle in one corner carefully pour 1 cup of the red jello liquid into the holes on a diagonal.

Do the same with 1 cup of the blue jello, alternating diagonal rows between the red and blue jello. Careful not to mix the red and blue rows or the cake will be purple.

Fill all of the holes with the jello mixture and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Top the cake with Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to serve. Add sprinkles before serving.

Cut into slices and enjoy!
