Ingredients

Poke Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix + Ingredients on box
  • 1 packets of Strawberry Jello 3 ounce each packets
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip

Strawberry Crunch Topping

  • 10-12 Golden Oreos crushed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 packet strawberry Jello

Instructions

  • Start by mixing up and baking the cake as directed on the box. Use the ingredients it calls for and bake in a 9x13 pan.
  • Once the cake is done, let cool a bit then with a round or flat back part of a spoon poke holes all over the cake.
  • In a bowl add one packet of Jello and add 1 cup boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes to dissolve the Jello. Then pour in one cup of cold water. Stir to combine.
  • Pour over the cake, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until chilled.
  • Then cover the whole cake in the whipped cream. Just spread an even layer all over the cake.

How to Make Strawberry Crunch Topping

  • Add your Oreos to a bag or food processor. Then I used a rolling pin to crush the Oreos to make a crumble.
  • Add Oreos to a bowl, then add in the strawberry Jello packet and melted butter. Mix well.
  • Then when you have the crumb topping ready sprinkle it over the Cool Whip topped cake.
  • Slice and serve the strawberry crunch cake or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Make Ahead - You can do the jello and cake a day in advance. Just keep it covered and refrigerated. Then right before serving top with whipped cream and the Oreo crumble.
Storing - This cake needs to be stored in the fridge or it will spoil. Refrigerate in a covered dish. Or you can freeze for 3 months or so.
