Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box
  • 1 package 3 oz raspberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup shredded coconut toasted, if desired
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • Bake the Cake:
  • Prepare the white cake according to the instructions on the box. Bake in a 9x13-inch pan and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan after baking.
  • Prepare the Raspberry Gelatin:
  • While the cake is cooling, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water in a mixing bowl. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water and stir well.
  • Poke Holes in the Cake:
  • Use the end of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes evenly across the entire surface of the cooled cake. Make sure the holes reach the bottom to allow the gelatin to soak in thoroughly.
  • Pour the Gelatin:
  • Slowly pour the raspberry gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills all the holes. Use a spoon to help distribute the gelatin evenly. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours or until the gelatin has set.
  • Add the Topping:
  • Once the gelatin has set, spread a layer of whipped cream or whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  • Garnish the Cake:
  • Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the whipped cream and arrange fresh raspberries on top.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Slice the cake into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the refreshing and vibrant flavors of your Raspberry Zinger Poke Cake!
