Red, White and Blue Poke Cake

Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 package strawberry or cherry jello
  • 1 package blue raspberry jello

Instructions

  • Grease an 8 x8 baking dish (I use coconut oil). Set aside.
  • In two small bowls add half of the jello mix. (1 flavor in each). Boil 1 cup of water. Add half to the red jello bowl and half to the blue jello bowl. Add half a cup of cold water to each and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
  • Beat eggs with an electric mixer. Gradually add sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
  • Bring milk to a simmer in a small pot. Add butter and remove it from the burner. Stir until butter is melted.
  • Slowly add milk mixture to above mixture. Beat until smooth.
  • Pour into greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
  • Cool cake for 10-15 minutes and then poke holes in it with the end of a wooden spoon. Pour jello in holes, alternating between red and blue.
  • Once the cake has cooled completely, cover with icing of choice. I used leftover marshmallow cream icing that I had previously made. You could do whipped cream for a less sweet version, or a premade whipped icing.
