Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Base

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

For the Poke Filling

  • 1 package raspberry gelatin dessert (e.g., Jell-O)

For the Frosting

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 2 cups whipped topping or cream cheese frosting

For Decorating

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: white chocolate shavings or chunks for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bake the cake: Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions using eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly.
  2. Poke the cake: Once the cake is warm but not hot, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes evenly all over the surface, making sure the holes are close together so the raspberry gelatin can seep into every bite.
  3. Pour the raspberry gelatin: Prepare the raspberry gelatin dessert as directed on the package. Carefully pour the prepared gelatin over the poked cake, filling the holes and soaking the surface thoroughly.
  4. Chill the cake: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 to 3 hours or until the gelatin is fully set. This step allows the flavors to meld together and keeps the cake moist.
  5. Prepare the white chocolate frosting: Gently melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning. Fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped topping or cream cheese frosting until smooth and well combined. Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cake.
  6. Add fresh raspberries and decorate: Top the frosted cake with fresh raspberries and, if desired, garnish with white chocolate shavings or chunks for a beautiful and flavorful finish. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure holes are poked close together for maximum gelatin absorption.
  • Chill the cake long enough for the gelatin to fully set to deepen the flavors.
  • Melt white chocolate carefully using low heat to prevent burning.
  • Use softened frosting for easier spreading and smoother texture.
  • Choose ripe but firm fresh raspberries to avoid soggy cake texture.
