• Prepare the cake as per the instructions given in the box mix, or use your favorite cake recipe.
  1 White or yellow cake box mix
• Let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Poke several (about 10 to 12) holes with a spoon or fork.
• Prepare the Jell-O of your preferred color and flavor and spoon it into the holes you have made. You can check the video for the making of jello here.
  1.5 oz Red jello mix, 1.5 oz Blue jello mix
• Keep the cake in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. 

Making Whipped Cream At Home

• In a bowl, add heavy whipping cream and whisk until cream becomes light and streaks begin to form. At this stage, add sugar and vanilla extract and beat until medium-stiff peaks are formed.
  1 cup Heavy whipping cream, ½ cup Sugar, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

Arrange A Layered Poke Cake

• Split the cake into halves. Place the bottom half on your cake stand and spread the whipped cream. Place the other half of the cake on this and cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream and give the finishing touches as desired. I chose to decorate the top with some sprinkles.

• Serve and enjoy. Happy 4th of July.
