1 box orange Jello
1 cup boiling water
½ cup room temperature water
8 oz Cool Whip thawed
orange gel food coloring
Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with a light coating of cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
Poke holes all over the cake using a straw.
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water and pour over the cake. Let the cake chill in the fridge for two hours until completely cooled.
Tint Cool Whip with food coloring. Frost the cake and refrigerate for 1 hour. Top with sprinkles before serving.

Notes

Storing poke cake leftovers

Store your cake leftovers in the refrigerator (since the Jello must stay chilled).

Freezing leftover poke cake

Wrap your cake with foil or store in an air-tight bag and then wrap in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
