Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix – This provides the base for our cake. While you could make a cake from scratch, using a boxed cake mix simplifies the process and still yields a light, moist result.
Ingredients for the cake mix – These include the usual oil, eggs, and water, as directed on the box.
1 (3 oz) box strawberry gelatin – The star ingredient that infuses the cake with a rich strawberry flavor. The gelatin is also what creates the poke cake effect, soaking into the cake to keep it moist and flavorful.
1 cup boiling water – This is mixed with the gelatin to dissolve it and create the liquid soak.
1 cup cold water – Helps cool the gelatin down before it’s poured over the cake.
