Patriotic Jell-O Poke Cake 🇺🇸

This cake is ALWAYS a hit! My aunt used to make it at Christmas with red & green jello flavoring. The Jell-O gives the cake such good flavor & keeps it from drying out. A few tips & recipe below 👇🏻

RECIPE:
-1 box white cake mix (make as your normally would)
-1 3oz box strawberry Jell-O mix
-1 3oz box berry blue Jell-O mix
-Cool Whip and desired toppings

•Make cake that you normally would and let us cool completely!
• Mix each box of Jell-O according to directions BUT, do not put in the fridge. We don't want it to set up!
•Poke holes in your cake (preferably in a neat-ish row to help with alternating colors)
•Fill a dropper (I use a kid's medicine dropper) and alternate colors by row (I.e. 1 red row then 1 blue). If you don't alternate, your colors could mix and you'll get a purple cake! 😅 (you SHOULD NOT use all of the Jell-O mixture. Less than half)
* Chill at least 2 hours. Top with cool whip and other toppings right before you serve!

🌟 Tips :
• You can make this just with 1 Jell-O flavor. If you just wanted to use red or just blue - that works! If that's the case, then you can poke your holes with a fork and more haphazardly.
-You will have extra Jell-O mixture. Don't pour it all in the cake or it absorbs everything and you won't get the marble effect - but a purple cake! You can chill the leftover Jell-O mixture to make Jell-O cups .
-I usually top with sprinkles, but you use strawberries and blueberries to make a festive flag on top of you wanted.
- Keep the cake refrigerated!

Let me know if you have questions!

My Mom made this when I was growing up, and I can't wait to make it for tomorrow's Fourth of July barbecue (my cake is just out of the oven cooling now). Looks festive and delicious-- thanks!
